About the test environment
Flatwater
Review
I really liked the look and comfort of this boat so I decided to take a test run on flatwater.
COMFORT: I'm about 5'10" and I still had about 4" of room left in the front. The seat was also in the neutral factory position. Moving the seat back will give an enormous amount of room. The syncro six outfitting is really really nice. The whole rachet backband system is very nice. The thigh braces could use some work. They are on the small side and for skinny legs you might slide out a lot. The seat was comfy and holds the bottom nice.
BOAT ITSELF: The first thing that caught my attention is the weight of this boat. This is the LIGHEST boat I have ever picked up. It weighed like nothing. Because of the lightness aireal moves will go big and manuevring the boat is very easy. The volume is evenly distributed which seems to be many boat companys ideas. Also love the name.
PERFORMANCE: I only tested on flatwater so i have no idea what it does on waves or holes. On flatwater, bow and stern stalls have never been so easy for me!! The boat has very distinctive balance points which can help you with your stalls. It seems like the boat would do very well on a wave and pretty good in a hole. Then again I would have no idea. Flatwater loops seemed possible in this boat but i havent learned one yet. Cartwheels are there too. This boat will get you dizzy on how many ends you can throw. I really am not good at flatwater moves, but i was suprised cause this boat opened the door for me.
Conclusion
I'm definitely going to purchase this boat this weekend. This boat was truely amazing. Pyranha has really stepped up their game this year realeasing the 4Twenty boats. This boat is probably the key to anyone who wants to take their boating to the next level. Once I have the boat for awhile and get acustomed to what it will do on waves and holes I will write another review.
