Why don't you have a level control on off switch?

Some do, but there always is a bit of residual volume then in the boat.

Best is to have both, the manual switch bypassing the float switch. A little electric tweaking and you're done.

I can see where/how/why a pump could come in handy at times... but I like to get out and stretch my legs.

What's that big hole in the top of the boat... and a standard sized OC saddle all about then???

Oh... I get it... it doesn't "look" like a traditional open canoe with high ends... so it can't be a CANOE then can it? I also suppose if you paddle a kayak as a C1 it's still a KAYAK right?

We gotta have a manual switch so we're doing sumthin for ourselves.

Really Craig... you need to get them to change the tech spec to list it as a "Kanoe"!

Phill you must have missed my post where I ask why they didn't use a motor with a rotor shaft on both ends one for the suction pump and one with a air pump.

I ain't talken to Decker but if I was I would tell him if at his young tender age he needs to get out and strech his legs, he will be in a Kayak by the time he reaches middle age like me. Beside it is hard to pass safety materials from boat to boat.

To all: those who keep sayin a Teaurea, Skeeter, Prelude, Quake, Spanish Fly, Aftershock, Super Fly ain't an open boat must suffer from the same problem as Milt and Long boat do. They are afraid they don't have the skill to get down the river in a boat shorter or smaller than your average coal barge. I do notice that those who keep bad mouthin the new boats don't even try a Zoom and I know one who has an Ocoee but you never see him in it.

"big hole"???

just barely open enough to get in. where's the beer supposed to go? ok lets call it a "just barely open canoe", though i think its a decked canoe without a skirt

it's not the length looie, it's the decks that make it a decked canoe, just without a skirt. but still a canoe. and i love the zoom, just not in royalex thank you.

Well Joe what do you think is more likely, us small boat paddlers go back to the designs of the last 1000 years or you coals barge pusher will end up with something you can take on big water and a mirco creek?

....or a propeller.

Of course there was, that shower head attachment someone had. That looked like it might be worth carrying.

I just actually never had the need to carry around a bidet.
