STOUT! This thing is bullet proof compared to any other boats I've paddled/checked out. After damaging my first boat with in weeks it's the most important aspect of choosing my vessel. The outfitting is as comfortable as the Bad Ass LL stuff but easier to adjust and mounted to that sick spine/back bone for the Mod30 set up. The hip pads are super large and comfortable, actually placed great for carrying the boat on your shoulder. The shims are pre-cut and just slide in with out the need for glue or tape. The foot rest comes with both size pads(large and small) and the thigh braces are a dream compared to past boats I've paddled. The back strap moves quickly for access to drybags and gear.

The shorter length to most Creekers and River runners combined with the massive rocker make this thing handle like a much lighter boat. The edges are "sharp"! Starting at the nose I found myself upside down in the first three eddies I attempted at speed. But no worries, it rolls with out trying. With speed just slightly lean to carve and it acts like it's on rails... it's taken the fun level up a notch in my local runs.
