RX Wildfire = Yellowstone Solo
Posted by: pblanc on Oct-26-12 10:04 PM (EST)

The boat that was originally called the Royalex Wildfire was renamed the Yellowstone Solo.

I think it is a very good boat, much more to my liking than the Wenonah Argosy. It is reasonably fast, can carry a decent load, and is quite stable when heeled which makes it pretty nimble as well. Very nice river boat that does pretty well on flat water as well.

It does not have as much depth as a whitewater boat, or an SRT which would limit its use in whitewater. You still might be able to run some technical Class II stuff if it does not involve big wave trains or significant drops.
