I have been paddling this boat and so far it is my favorite boat. I did a multi-chined hull and really like it! One of my goals was to lower the resistance and still maintain stability. The multi-chines did the trick. Out on the water it has been a joy to paddle and I can keep up with the stronger paddlers a lot of the time. I am just extremely happy with this boat.

This is the one the dye job faded on too. Still have no idea why. You can see in the photo that the boat is not virtually white. The photo was taken during during a portage. Love being able to toss an 18' boat on my shoulder and carry it by myself. Especially when paddling with a plastic crowd.
