Good comments above! I am 6' 175# and have paddled the Option for around 6 years. ME LIKE! It really helped me grow comfortable in C3/C3+. I paddled a Mohawk Viper 12 prior. As already stated, Millbrook will absolutely be lighter. The Option is not ...

... That said, it feels like if anything, I'm on the light/ short side for the 2020. You would love the Shacho I'd have to guess. The other glass option at your size would be MT Canoes FH (Ocoee). Glass is great-- fast, light, easy to repair if you like that kind of thing. Personally, I don't, ...

... likes the Rayge, but I gather that it’s a more advanced boat. For Blackfly, I’ve heard the Octane 85 is a really fun, stable boat or possibly the Option. I realize there are trade offs for these different boats. Like do I want fast and nimble or slow and stable? Ideally a good balance of both! ...

is this option sold?
thanks,

I'm heading to CO next week to pick up an Option. i'm always interested in getting a feel for different boats, perhaps we can take them all paddling sometime.

Anyone in Arizona, or nearby, have an Option, Octane, or L'edge they'd be willing to let me demo? Hard to find canoes in general around here.

I assume by now this is sold. If not let me know.

Hi Zach,
I sent you a PM, let me know if you got it. That'd be great to see some pics of the boat and discuss further, keep me posted, thanks!

Hi Patrick,

Yes it is still available. Let me take some pictures today and send them to you via PM.

Thanks,

Zach

Hi Zach,
I've been looking for a used Option, is yours still available?

Patrick

Looking for a good quality, rigid whitewater breakdown canoe paddle. I have a blackfly option, probably need a 3 piece because of room. I have tried a aqua bound but seems a little spongy for me. There is a company in Canada that makes one that is really sturdy but ...

Hi There,

I'm sorry that I missed your message. The Option is still available and for sale.

Are you still interested in it?

Zach

Good way of looking at it is - an Agent is basically an Option and 91 made into one boat. Regarding durability - in over 3 years, and hundreds sold in NA, I haven't had a single customer contact me about their hull cracking. Pretty unbelievable actually. ...

... short legs and a long torso; I really like the Octane 91 as well as the Agent and L Edge, but need to be on my A-game for the L Edge. Sadly the Option didn't work for me as well as these other boats. I know many folks say the Option is about the same as the Agent, but nope, not for me, no way. ...

... normal hiking tube hanging over his shoulder-- and he swears by it. At my end, ever since switching to bulkhead saddles -- Ledge lite x2, Octane, Option, and now Agent 88, I've anchored a Nalgene "Cantene" water bladder just stern of the back of the seat and have the bite tube on top of the rear ...
