Hmm. Don't know the Riot Big Gun, but I'm kinda thinking shoes and a rod would suit your interests a lot better. :D :lol:

How about some honest feedabck on an all around river running boat. Obvisously one that will carry some equipment for, say, fishing.

In jest Kneal; I would have said something similar. Kinda' left myself open.

Cheers,

Mike

My buddy Isaac paddled one for a while (he has since converted it back into a K1... :roll: ... traitor... :evil: ...), and I paddled it once down some class 3-4 water.
I think it's a very decent conversion, stable, reasonable speed, boofs well, resurfaces reasonbly well, very maneuvrable.
One of th better creekboat conversions I have tried out so far.

Not a bad river runner but fairly good creeker. A lot of them died early deathes due to cracking under the seat (creek'n is crack'n).
If you have access to one on the cheap go for it. You might fine you don't have time for fish'n! :wink: Paul C.
