Any boat suggestions? I'm 5'9 at 175. Trying to keep the build cost under or at 500.

Found a good deal on a 2012 superstar. Think I'm going for it.

I have a Monstar and I am 6ft 220lb and I love it. My son has an allstar and he loves it. I can even fit in the Star- which ever one is the smallest one. (but only in the pool) way too funny.

FWIW, I'm 6'2" and 230lbs... And tried the Monstar at the pool, and that boat is huge. Lots of room.

No idea never paddled it anywhere else than at our Local play wave or in the Pool. I prefer my L'edge or other open boat for river running and we dont have a lot of choice here where to take it, But maybe this summer

Re: First C1 Playboat
I found it different to roll.... Yukon find it easy. I guess it is a matter of timing, different than a curly, or Atom.....
And of course totally different than bigger open boat...

Re: First C1 Playboat
I have a biscuit ... it is big and stable (maybe too big for me, but at least it super stable =P) ... and so far I like it
but if you're good i heard that the Project X is a good choice.
