Final note, before I shut up! I like the H2PRO, especially as a guide boat, as it is predictable and very comfy to paddle for a long time. HOWEVER, it is NOT a fast boat! I only mention this as you said your Probe 12 is 'slow' and that is a reason ...

... well and much better then the 400 cm older school race boats. Extra space in the bow for punching holes and tracking. The layup is Vajdas Racing pro which is about 2300 new without shipping form Slovakia. The weight of the boat WAS 7.5kg before we cut it down, now it is even LIGHTER even with ...

But I just can't see retro fitting a boat that was not built for white water. by the time I add a skidplate, airbags, knee pads, replace the seat ...

"I want to be a pro boater" made me shoot cereal out of my nose yesterday morning.

... each of those times it has not been needed. The diameter on my rope is sufficient for most things. I have the NRS Guardian Waist Throw Bag. The "pro" offers an upgrade in rope strength, which may be advisable. If I were on a comfy class II run, I would probably keep it casual and have a line ...

... The Hydroscapes is a brilliant piece of kit, but the waist tightening is not unique, the HF serpent (now discontinued) Hydraulics River Pro the Green Jacket and the Aquavest 3000 (the predecessor in astrals line) have that feature too. The Hydraulics vest I mentioned is from NZ, but ...

... Jacket (I bought a lightly used 300 and never bonded with it) because of the pullover style. I will be purchasing a Kokotat, either a Ronin Pro or the Maximus. (FYI, REI can order any Kokotat product into their stores.)

I have a Kokatat Ronin Pro, which I like very much, fwiw. It has an amazing amount of flotation for a vest that feels relatively low-profile. Do try on PFDs before you buy, though. I really wanted to get an Astral Green Jacket, but it ...

... boats have been professionally shortened to the new length and are now each at 11' 6" - the cut down jobs look really nice. Both boats are Racing-Pro layup - carbon/kevlar with stiffeners - the only difference between racing-pro and the vajda elite layup is that the elite uses one layer of pure ...

I've got an old Wenonah Marathon. I think it's a predecessor to the V1A. I'm 195ish & my stern paddler is probably 220ish. To trim the boat I'm crammed as far forward as I can be. My knees are touching & the gunnels are bowed out from my calves. I cannot fit my heels side by side on the bottom of th...

A mixer would be set up so the heavier paddler MUST be in the bow. As Mike said, this is the best way to run these boats anyway. Personally, I feel that my V1-Michigan is as fast as a standard V1. The Michigan, like a "mixer", trims better with the heavier paddler in the bow.

@Kaz
Haven't bought one yet but wonder if it would be the fastest possibility for us with our weight range. I guess a Pro should be faster than a mixer even if trimmed with some weight...
Am I wrong?
