Re: 20/20 reviews for 230# please

... to be driven as opposed to just floated. She has a volume that I appreciate and I do not feel oversized for it as I do in many other boats.

Re: Time for a New Boat

... of your replies. I had looked at the MT FH a couple of years ago but then went back and it looked they were out of business. I'll look into that option. We don't have ready access to OC-1s out here (used market is near non-existent) and so it's a bit of gamble, so I'm trying to do my homework ...

Re: Time for a New Boat

... composite. I used to have a Zephyr and find is much less responsive than the Echoee. I don't think you'd find it a good substitute. Similarly the Option and L'Edge. I own and Option and find it a nice creek boat, but its short length makes it slow for a down river boat. The L'Edge is a bit of ...

Re: Time for a New Boat

... in a solo open canoe that turns well, you are in luck and have several superb options all in plastic in the likes of the Esquif L'Edge, Blackfly Option (maybe Octane 85 or Condor) or Silver Birch Convert (maybe Agent or the Rebel that you mentioned). Plastic really opens up your paddling possibilities. ...

C1 conversion bulkhead questions

... setup? My general impression is that bulkheads work well for some paddlers. If so, how? When I experiment with backing off the foot pegs in my Option, I tend to fall out of the saddle when I try to roll.

Ion VS "mid-length" modern boats

Any comparisons from people that have paddled the Ion and also paddled other shorter, more modern whitewater boats (option, octane, ledge lite, etc)? Coming from a 12ft Outrage, I'm curious as to what the momentum loss is between the Ion and other more moderate "mid length" 8-9 foot ...
