Booster 50 Awesome boat
I started paddling last year, and read all the reveiws on the booster so i got a booster 50.
The outfitting was pretty good. I liked the ratchet thigh braces and the footpegs you could really get tight in the boat. The backband fell down around your ass but a quick tug fixed that after getting in and then again ratchet it down. Mine had a power seat in it and was easily adjustable forwards and backwards.
The boat was ridden in maine on the Kennebec, Mattawamkeag, Penobscot, W. Branch, the Souadabscook and a few rivers and playspots around maine. No real badass class V stuff but some good stuff. It surfed real well, edges were amazing on a wave, carving was a breeze, it's much edgier than the G force that I ride now and real fun, and it spun and backsurfed like a champ. I find me G force is a little easier to spin however.
It got around the river pretty well eddying and ferrying due to the length and edges. Flatwater it wasn't bad either. It bow stalled real high no matter where the seat was, and flatwater cartwheeling was definitely not impossible, just about the same as my buddies ultrafuge. Both ends almost idential volume wise. It was real fun to wavewheel, no problems there.
I don't know what that other dude is talking about with the egdes and the rocker gettin in the way, i think he's in an idiot. My buddy agreed this boat lived up to the hype of being an awesome beginner & intermediate boat. Don't read the other review, dude's got no idea.
