Big Dog OC1 creeker - a sneak preview

The boat rolls really easily. I would say as easy if not easier than the Fly / Taureau. The drop away at the front of the cockpit makes it super easy to get your body over. When you roll up there is very little water in there. Certainly not enough to make you think you need to dump it out. I was suffering from severe ice cream headache at the time.......so I'm going to estimate 1-2 inches. I think that video is working again.......

At the moment the plan is to get the OC1 Force finished and out the door. There are no plans to produce an OC1 version of the Drop Zone.

If you had a Drop zone as a decked C1 it would be the same hull as the kayak version.

Hope this helps guys

Cheers Bob. What's the timetable for the creek boat for retail?

I would say sooner rather than later if you know what I mean. There's some bits to be finalised, little bit more boating to do etc etc

I'll ask the boys and get back to you.........

Talking for Pete here, but the answer is yes it is the same hull just outfitted as a C1...

So any new updates on this boat yet: more pictures, outfitting, price, final specs, USA availability, etc.?

No more pics or anything at the minute. Still waiting for some water!!!!

There will be a demo / prototype boat out in the South East sometime in the next few weeks. In time for ALF for folk to try out.

I don't envisage it being too long before it's available for purchase over there. There's always some tweaks to be made. The final outfitting etc hasn't been completely decided yet. There's just a little bit more to do. As soon as it has all been decided I'll post it straight on here.

Hoping to get out boating this week.........if it rains. If I get out I'll stick some more pictures up.

Cheers

Bob

Bob, I won't be at ALF, but I will look forward to hearing everyone's reviews and thoughts.

Thanks
