: Hi Bill - I have the CD Expedition (kevlar) and really like the boat. Here's
: my impressions compared to other boats I have paddled: 1) It's big. We
: call it the floating gymnasiun. Plenty of room for camping gear and lots
: of freeboard for a dry ride. In rough water, I have to reach up a little
: to reach the underside of the deck with my knees (I'm 6' tall)
: 2) Very comfortable seat
: 3) Very fast (see link below)
: 4) It more of a performance boat than a work boat, so it's a little on the
: tippy side, but not quite as tippy and the expedition. Also, maybe not as
: maneuverable as what you need.

: I really like it for trips - fast, comfortable, carrys lots of stuff, fast,
: handles rough water well but I'm not sure it's the best boat for the
: application you're talking about.

Hi Scott,
