Have seen the Amerlite version, but never paddled.... always wanted a plastic one.

Looks really dry, and likely to have nice speed. I'm sure one of our European boaters will have worn one (or two) out by now. Believe this was the last Frankie boat, although never have substantiated that.

It would be very interesting to put one side-by-side with a Prelude. Looks like they might be similar in the speed/dryness categories.

... and have spent a lot of years in a skeeter and preludes and their LACK of an edge is exactly why I was excited to get a L'Edge. The Ocoee and the Homes were nice and edgy if they were only made out of plastic. I agree the Skeeter and the Prelude will keep you on your toes but not because they ...

German tourists? Hm-mm. . . Trevor may be on to something here!
