Thanks folks. think I will look for a Raven.

I'm replacing my Impulse and tried a friends Rival and liked it . It did everything better. Tried a Shaman once and that seemed good too.

Is there an equivalent to the old Dagger Rival on the market?

The Impulse is a better ww tripping boat than a playboat. Hard to turn in the midst of a rapid and slow to get across the river to the right entry point. Stable and comfortable ,yes. On a trip down the Trinity in Ca it paddled better with camping gear ( 40 lbs) than empty. I don't mind swimming but ...

Hmmmm. Hard chine or soft chine? Long boat or short boat? I guess this is what I get for spending years paddling a Dagger Impulse. Thanks for the input, folks.

Can anyone here compare the Probe 11 with the Esquif Raven?
None around here to demo. I will use it in class 3 water. I'm 170 lbs. Intermediate level paddler.
Thanks

Hi Folks. Facebook is not one of my interests but boating at WESTFEST is. Can the event details be put into this thread also? Thanks

Kayakers to Canoers are curt
But it only covers a hurt.
For Canoers , at will,
Keep water out with their skill
and Kayakers depend on a skirt!
