Per the other comments, no offense, but the reviewers seem a bit "green". This boat is very easy to roll and does not get "stuck" in holes any more than any other boat. If you punch a hole and stop paddling, the hole will draw you back in. A PRO about being in a hole in this boat, is that because of the chines, you can surf it easily. Work on your side-surf techniche and your comfort level in holes and you won't have any problems with working any boat in a hole.

The boat stays on line and tracks like a damn blood hound. It boofs well and resurfaces immediately after big drops.
After owning 5 different boats, as for creeking and big water, I'm not planning on looking any further than another Burn.

About Me
Paddled for 5+ years on a variety of class III-V, to include big rivers and creeks.
Pros / The Good
I have paddled many boats from river running playboats to pure playboats to full-on creekers...and this is the best handling boat by FAR. It is rock solid stable and easy to roll. It turns on a dime, will scoot you into micro eddies, small eddies, big eddies, whatever.
Cons / The Bad
I have paddled this boat for 2 years and haven't found one yet. MAYBE the outfitting, but not really. Pyrahna historically has a ton of screws and fasteners, which means more areas where water can get in. As long as you make sure everything is nice and tight every season, it's no different than any other boat.
