Specs VS Experience
Posted by: TommyC1 on Apr-17-12 9:13 AM (EST)

If I'm reading this right, you are saying that you are very happy with the performance of your Morningstar. But the numbers leave you doubting your experience.

That is backwards thinking. The specs provided by a manufacturer can be used to narrow down what boats you might want to try. But the proof is in the paddling. It sounds to me as though you are quite happy with the paddling.

Congratulations!
