First off, despite the obvious visual similarity it doesn't feel like a taureau, and it's significantly wider than the force C/K1 along with possibly a mite softer at the edges.

I'm not sure I'd personally want a C1 version, but if you emailed Andy and asked if they could ship you one with an uncut deck so you could cut it out yourself, weld a cockpit rim in and outfit it accordingly then there's a good chance they'd be willing to accomodate you.

Well, yes but I said it "looks" like. A dumb comment I guess but it is a bathtub right? And because the design is different I guess it should paddle at least a bit different...
Watch out; that river has rocks on the bottom. :o

I'll second that request. There is a Big Dog rep in Washington state. Any chance you can get a demo to him???

Thanks!
