potential NOOb; LL CR250 as C1 conversion

[MichaelME]

Never been in a C1 and primarily wear a skirt, so feel free, not that you need the encouragement, to have fun with it.

Got a CR250 in excellent condition trying to sell in the kiddy pool. Just don't want to give it away.

Now that i'm not hitting the gym/juicing lately I'm 6'0, 205#, 11, 31"ins, husky from the ribs, make that hips, up. As of the other day, can no longer kick, stretch, and kick some more as well as I use to. But in reasonably decent shape.

Long time Butt-boater, that acquired a well used Viper 12 and messed about about 8 months. Spent a lot of time attaining, eddy hopping, ferry and such. Got so I could manage the local III and heavy water II/-III without falling out in the snappy eddies too often. Outfitting, knee straps only, needs to be totally redone.
Got back in the K1 and switched to primarily hand-paddles and having a ball. Between the V12 and the HP's, got a greater appreciation for "feel of the water".

So, always interested in challenging myself and looking for something new, and need to order some foam for the V12. Was thinking of converting the CR250. But i really need to reduce the quiver.

Did a site specific google search and only came a couple of thoughts on the boats conversion.

Has anyone actually converted a CR250? Any feedback would be welcomed?

Thanks

Michael

A CR250 to many would be the motorbike variety.

My main C1 is a CR250. I weight about 205 lbs. Started out in an Atom. The CR250 is much slower than an Atom but is very stable, a great surfing boat and more forgiving. I have also used the CR250 for some easy creek runs but recently bought a Jefe Grande for creeking.
