Good Creekboat conversions

Looking at getting a creekboat to convert. Any advice on the following or other models would be appreciated (i.e. cockpit size, speed, ease of rolling, playability, etc...)

Riot Big Gun
Riot Sniper
Necky Blunt
Pyranha M:3
Pyranha Micro
Liquidlogic Gus
Liquidlogic Huck
Dagger CFS

Wavesport Diesel looks great, but I've never seen one for sale (yet).

Thanks, OC.

I personally would not recommend the CFS, it was one of the few boats I sold because I did not like it, as opposed to wanting to try something different i.e. except for a sea kayak, which is now for sale, all my flat water canoes are gone.


I've been lazy and haven't finished the Nomad yet but it looks like a decent conversion.

The Nomad will be my last conversion. I just wanted a reference point for the new creekboats.

Of the ones you mentiones, Blunt, Gus and M3 make good, stable
conversions. M3s apperently break easier than the other ones.
The older LL boats seem to have very stiff, but also brittle
plastic.

Look further down for Jack Dittys (sp?) thread on creek boats.
It has some really good info.
