I'm gonna say...Blackfly Ion!

Absolutely, hands down, the most fun I've had in a boat. I was hooting it up the whole way down the river. Seems like I'm not the only one

Blackfly Blackfly! Spanish Fly is also fun. And so is a Mini-me (raft) This question is too hard to answer with one boat. I also love my C1 biscuit cause doing a loop makes me smile like this And boofing any boat makes me smile like this and getting worked in holes makes me go like this and then this and swimming out of all the above boats makes me do this I think if i could have any super fun boat it would be a Spanish fly then id paddle down the river looking like this

The first-out-of-the-mold, high rocker Dagger Zealot I bought from Adam Clawson.

My modified (Mill Creek) Advantage One.

A 15foot slalom canoe which also serves admirably well as a tripper, as well as a downriver racer, and makes attains with near wanton abandon. A real joy to paddle, it liberally serves up smiles... and grins... and giggles. Particularly while recycling great big surfing waves, the same one's most decked boaters often can not, despite whatever level of windmilling they choose to tire from. As expected it's a glass composite (s-glass - kevlar) hull, so it's pretty light, relatively slick, and has a pretty stiff hull. All the things which make it feel so good after a couple months of paddling a polyethylene canoe. Not knocking my PE boats, but along with their strengths they do have certain limitations.

Which is why one boat will never do it all; however it's pretty cool to do 360's while in this big ole long boat. And just imagine the air gained if ender'ed.... might just have to go do that next time.

It's probably being in a tandem team that matched quite well after 5 minutes, but paddling the Esquif Blast with James Weir was sooo much unexpected fun... .

For a solo canoe I think I'd have to put the Ocoee.

Millbrook Defiant!

Sorry, I'm biased, but I've gotta say it's the Groove all the way! Super slippery a,d lightning speed old school ends. Can't be beat.

I'd have to go with the IGNITOR from Millbrook Boats. It's unbelievably fast, light, stable(relative term). You'd snap your neck doing eddy turns if you're not careful!

Ooooh... I can't wait.

or actually the original Torrent with the big wings -- with a light enough pair and a 99.9% roll

Me too! There's nothing as much fun as paddling with a partner in C-2 and I still use my old Torrent XL.

my Delirious

I had a Detonator that was so much fun, I wore the thing out within a year in half. Sweet boat, light, fast, and could do anything.

Esquif Blast, with a well matched partner.

That would have to be the Shaggy Sith, but the Groove and Ceemweaver are right up there, too.

TGG!

I'm going to give it to the CU-Fly; By any standards, it's an awful boat: Ugly, Slow, Different if not Difficult to roll, almost immobile when swamped...

BUT! You get in one and within minutes all those gripes are forgotten as you muddle your way down the river having the most unbelivable fun, briefly ripping on waves (before having to limp the the side and empty), totally failing to boof over rocks, and generally having a dam good time; oh and the deck lacing is ideal for keeping beers under.
