Wow. Just wow. I just started scrimping my pennies. Looking forward to trying to demo one of those!

I would vote for not yellow. I like green or (the probably over-done) red.

Thanks,
Shep

Yellow- ugggg... no thanks. I've got an orange BF and would like something more classy and understated... The blue that Liquid Logic uses is my favorite. If it paddles like a BF but more seaworthy for harder water, I'm sold.

yea, but then it'd be harder to find after them safety breaks.

What about a nice transparent hull so you can see them F rocks easier?

Oh you did good with Red there Craig, I just need the ION to not be the same color red as the L'edge so I can tell em apart in pics.

Too bad I have finals in march. Otherwise I might have to head down to ALF to try them out. That Ion looks like nothing else on the planet.
Any chance the boats will make it out West somtime this spring?

TGG!
