IMHO: The Probe 12 responds well to pulling in, ie. shortening the thwarts. Try 1.5 or 2". You might want to do this after you have paddled it for awhile.
I also agree that you ought to buy both; you can have too few, but never too many boats.

Learn the fine art of getting an open boat onto your head and the weight issue is reduced to near zero. My humble opinion only.

Re: Adding thigh straps to an Ion, recommendations?
Re: footpeg comfort. Suggested by Craig Smerda a few months ago: taper the footpeg rails so they (and consequently the foot pegs) are closer together near the stern. This worked remarkably well for me and the work wasn't all that difficult even without removing the saddle to cut foam.

Re: Ash Gunwales
Sometimes it isn't the screws themselves that cause the problem, but rather the wooden gunwales pushing on the stems of the boat. I had a Dagger Legend that could not be reassembled in temps below 40F because the hull had shrunk so much at those temperatures that the inside gunwales (sometimes calle...

Find the Wisconsin Sierra club river touring section website. I don't know the exact address but you'll find it right away with 'wisconsin sierra club RTS'. They have a link to USGS stream gauges, useful in case you want to do some exploring.

Take a look at GOOD OLD BOAT magazine, July/August 2012 issue #85 page 44 article titled: Restore that faded gelcoat. Says much about this topic.

If I were you I would remove the gunwales completely for this first winter. Oil them well including down into the screw holes (use a pipe cleaner). Then next spring when you reassemble the boat you will get some idea of what you are up against. I did this to our Dagger Legend when we first bought it...
