C-Forum

Not wanting to sidetrack this thread but I loved Prijon’s kayaks for c1 conversions.

Here’s someone’s else’s 210-220 pd padddler take on the LUV. Probably a kayaker.

I had one as a C1 and at about your weight. It was a lot of fun for all the reasons you mentioned, but for those same reasons, it made class 2 rapids very exciting! I sold it to a friend who is at about your former weight or a little lighter and he loves it. I wish they made one just a little bigger...

No experience with paddling it as a C1 here, but if you decide you don't want it I'd love to talk. I am in Seattle.

I returned to the river after a long hiatus. The first couple times out were especially humbling. I'd give the boat a try. If you don't like it and you're near Vermont I could be interested if it doesn't work out. I am lighter than you, but really enjoyed the boat back in the day!

Should be lively but probably good for park n play...and roll practice

Old propaganda states 90 - 250lbs

Prijon Delirious. 70 cm wide!

Just joking.

As a public service for other lovers of these classic conversions and some PR for a good guy. Kent at Kent's - Spokane has at least four more of these brand new , w/ all original paperwork and outfitting kits. Do your own dealing, but I will say that I paid significantly less than the $599 tag. Tota...

PM on the way!

The plastic really is great. I've been paddling a Prijon Release playboat for years and it's bomber.

I never paddled a Delirious, but that was supposedly an awesome C-1 conversion.

I'd say go for it!
