I'm looking for a new boat and I'm considering these three options
T-2
Skip
G-force 6.1
I weigh 165 and am an intermediate/advanced paddler
All are the same price
Any opinions
Thanks

Where are you located / what do you paddle (big water, creeks, narrow rivers, etc., etc.).
Sounds like you are a play boater but....
Let us know the details. I've been the first two and like both, but I was only in them for a very short time on two very different rivers. I'm sure others have more info. Enjoy and let us know what you pick up, why and how it works out.

T2 = paddles like a bis stable truck. slow edge to edge but it cartwheels, loops, and bounces.
Skip= Will cartwheel better. A little faster edge to edge, better on a wave. Can still loop.
G force= the better hole boat.
All are fairly slow. I would recommend the Skip if your a big wave fan. And if possible the Kingpin (tweaked gforce) is better than the T2.
Paddle the, if you can!!

I just bought a necky vibe, and it kicks some serious butt... not real fast on flatwater cartwheels, but this is the only place I find it lacking... I wrote a review that is a little ways down the first page of this forum. The only problem is that they're hard (read impossible) to find cheap since they're so new, so you might end up paying near retail...
