Review

Take a Fun, exaggerate the primary and secondary stability, add a Creek-boat deck: voila - super- forgiving river-runner that plays too.
Strenghts: hard to flip over - uncanny stability. Uber-maneuverable and Spins on a dime due to short length and planing hull. Sporty edges and confidence inspiring performance. Fits in the back of the truck w/ topper closed. Dry ride, shock absorbing bulkhead. JK comfort. Drain-plug just in case.

Weaknesses: Tall cockpit area - short torso folks may try Sweet Cheeks 200 for a lift. Knee "Fit'' is most secure when seat forwards, yet I like the sportier feel of the seat further back for splats, spins, and surfing.

Conclusion

This sporty little boat is ready to take your FUN skills to the next class of whitewater yet keep you well entertained on the runs you like now.
