Other boat to try

... an Outrage X. They're big out here on the west coast. The Outrage is drier than the Viper, and just as fast. I paddle an Outrage X (six five two twenty) and I can leave the Vipers in the dust. Also, you have the performace, but the edges aren't as harsh. Good Luck 8) Kalifornia Kid

Welll....er....yes as it happens :) ....I've figured out what it would cost to ship a container to NZ and it's not much worse shipping an entire twenty foot container compared to crating specific boats (Jo's Phantom, the Tandem, my Groove and Acrobat) and sending just them. Problem is that you ...
