Latest word form the factory. The new plastic for the boats handels the heat good and they can get the plastic up to the opitum weldin tempertures. dam I'm glad we got that fixed.

Mark Scriver brought one of the new boats to Palmer fest. The new seam looks way better than the old one, and it has apparently already been tested when a paddler pitoned into a canyon wall in the Laurentians a few weeks ago. Only has a big ding in the seam, but the weld is still solid. According to Mark the new formulation of the sheets allows them to be heated to a higher temperature before vaccum forming and subsequently welding which leadsto a better weld quality.
The only drawback of the new sheets is that they are white, which makes the boat really ugly IMHO.
I didn't really get to thoroughly test it yet, asthe white one was booked solid and Paul Mason's boats outitting (I briefly hopped into that boat) was too tight for me.
