Classic. I haven't paddled in a while but I started in a Nitro and it took me a bit longer (as a large paddler) to feel confident. I think ultimately it was good for my skills but it did take a while and I do know all the good swim lines on the local runs around here.

Where are you located?

Where are you located? Any photos?

The boat is red and includes, like new, harmony end bags. It is in Dahlonega, GA about 2 hrs north of Atlanta. I would like to get $750 for it. It is in excellent condition.

Thanks.

Sorry to hijack your post a little nug. Eric, How does the Blast handle compared to the Nitro? I really miss the playability of the Nitro. The bigger boat gives me alot more stability in Class IV. I don't know if you have been down the chattooga but I borrowed a Genesis from a freind and ran the sec...

I am 6' and approaching 300#. I started in a Nitro which I could paddle well after a year or so. After I tried a freinds Genesis I realized I needed a bigger boat if I wanted to take my paddling to the next level. But I feel like starting out in the small boat made me a much better paddler. I have t...

That seems to be along the lines of what people are suggesting. Anyone got any experience with it yet? I have been paddling a probe 14 for the past couple of months. It's a big boat when paddled solo but it still has some performance. I took it down Section 4 (Chattooga) recently with no problems. I...

One other thing I need to mention about the Nitro is that the "double chine" creates concentrated wear on the edges. As a heavier paddler if you do a lot of low water runs it will not last very long. This was the main reason I decided not to go for the Blast when looking for a bigger boat. That boat...

I am a little heavier than you at 270. I started paddling in a Nitro and was happy with it for playing in class II-III stuff. I decided to get a bigger boat when I started to step up to Class III-IV because I never had much confidence in must-make situations and it was difficult to ferry it at my we...

I have one of those. The catch compares to a spoon blade. The in-water recovery sucks though. It drags really bad if you just turn it sideways instead of pulling all the way out of the water. But it seems to have a lot more flexibilty than the AB Edge; it is a lot easier on the tendon in my bicep or...

I'm lovin that shirt bro!

They had a purple one of these (I'm pretty sure it was the 12'2" one) at the NOC. It looked brand spankin new to me but was going for $900. It was purple, outfittted with double strap. Might be worth calling them.

I would love to check one out. I tried to demo one from mohawk but all they have available is a Probe 14 and a Viper 11. I am going to the Nantahala Friday with a buddy that has a Viper 11 so I will try the 11 and see if I see anyone that has a Viper 12 on the river. I am going to demo their probe j...

So I did my research and searched this topic prior to posting. I got back to 2004 without finding the information I am seeking. I am getting a new boat. I have been paddling a Nitro for the past year. I want to see if anyone has an opinion on the transition from a Nitro to a Viper 12 and what opinio...

I am looking for one of these. Is this one still available? Anyone know of one in the SE that is looking for a new home?
