Re: Dagger Genesis for sale

Could you give any more details on the hull condition, or possibly a picture?

Re: new boat

That's a big jump--from a Genesis to a sub-10 footer. One factor will be how heavy you are. The Genesis can handle really big paddlers. The smaller boats are a mix, but the L'edge and the Octane are capable of handling the heavier paddlers. ...

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

I'm not a big fan of the XL.
The Probe 13 would be a better option.

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

I would say go witht he Probe 13, and if he decides to get an XL narrow it by about 1.25 inchs.

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

Recon might be great but few used ones out there. Probe 13 is stable and agile. Esquif blast solo is a solid boat for a bigger guy. Vertige X, perhaps? Solid traditional design. the Outrage X is a lackluster boat, but is available cheep as a result. It does probably respond better than the XL series.

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

Have any of the big guys out there paddled an Esquif Raven? I'm just curious how that might be for the pushing 250 crowd.

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

I think either an XL 13 or a Genesis would handle his weight fine. The XL 13 was a quite popular boat back in the day, and I paddled one a fair bit, but never owned one. I demoed a Genesis on the Nanatahala once shortly after they were ...

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

I agree with Pat on the Outrage X. I'm a fan of the regular outrage. At 215 lbs, as are all those new paddlers who try it out. Unless the x is a world of difference it might be a good starting point. I have a Vertige that I use for tripping. I'm easily over 260 lbs with my gear and it carries the we...

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

Going back to the original question, I don't think the Mohawk XL and the Dagger Genesis are much like each other. The XLs are porky, rounded hulls, slow, not great handlers, but without serious vices (other than being dated). The Genesis is a better flatwater cruiser, ...

Re: Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

I'd say Outrage X because he's not a tall guy - a Genesis etc. would work best for tall guys too. But if he didn't like the Rival, the Outrage X is probably in the same camp. Anyway, because of his height in wider hulls, I guess I'd go with something ...

Dagger Genesis and Mohawk XL 13

Just wondering if a Dagger Genesis is similar to a Mohawk XL 13. I'm trying to help a friend of mine find a boat. He is a short but heavy guy probably 240-260lbs and maybe 5'-6" to 5'-8". He tried a Rival but it didnt seem to react well ...

Re: Question about canoe length vs maxium weight limit

I'm 5'11 and 260. I just started this year, and still very new to solo boating. I picked up a genesis used very cheap and paddled it a few times. After paddling the saluda in columbia which has long stretches of flat water. The boat was hard to stay straight and would ...
