This is now a very stale thread, but...

Do you still have this boat?

... and 235 I'm just too heavy for it. It makes me almost cry when I paddle it because its almost awesome but never will be for me.) Repulse/NoPulse/Impulse Anything designed by Nolan Whitesell (XL 13/14, Piranaha, Descender, etc) H2Pro If you have something I didn't list, but want to get rid of, ...

I thought I saw your ad in craigslist and now its not there. Is your impulse still for sale? I live in No. Cal and will be driving through Eugene the beginning of August.

Love it . . I owned this same boat and paddled many, many miles in it . . .

Good deal,put it on GDI

... and Main Salmon, Owyee, Rogue, McKenzie, so it has the expected dings and scratches to show for it, but still structurally sound *Specs for the Impulse are shown in the attached image *Asking $450 *The boat is located in Eugene, Oregon.

You could order a 12' 8" Dagger Impulse with a kneeling thwart. Either a kneeling thwart and two thwarts or three thwarts. I don't believe a "seat" was an option but I could be wrong.

Anyone ever seen one? I picked an Ultrafuge kayak up on Craigslist for 75 bucks (impulse buy ) and now I don't know what to do with it. I weigh 180 so I might be to big from the beginning. Whoops! Perhaps it would be like a short C1 squirt boat, for me? Heh...

all I can say is... I agree. At 205lb and 5'6" I had went from Impulse- Probe 12- Viper 11 and eventually- Occoee. Moved out of the Impulse quickly. Probe was next, stable, stood up to my intermediate skill learning, could have pushed it further. Viper ...

Sam, I have a Viper 11 and have paddled it a fair bit on moderately technical stuff like the Tellico. I also owned an Impulse in prior years. The Probes are somewhat less edgy versions of the Vipers. I agree with Paul. The Probe 11 is really an 11' 8" boat so it is closer to a 12' ...

I'd say buy it. I know several people your size who paddle Viper 11s which are relatively similar, but a little edgier, and they're the perfect size for their boats. If it's in good condition, I don't think you can go wrong here. It will be way better than an Impulse.

Hi all, I'm in need of a boat, as I'm borrowing an Impulse right now and it is a) borrowed, and b) I have outgrown it, paddling ability wise. I'm looking for a shorter boat, and a Probe 11 has come along for a seemingly good price, but I'm wondering ...

This is all very helpful! Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with the others.

I now use my Vertige for self supported multi day whitewater runs and I've done the same in a Rival.

At 5'8", 150 lb, I would encourage a smaller design than any of these...unless you plan to carry a lot of gear or paddle a lot of flatwater. The Impulse is definitely more boat than this paddler would want. The Rival is quick and responsive. The Vertige is stable and forgiving. The Vertige would ...
