I got to paddle this boat with Mike Yee outfitting and the stern coorection pockets. I have a dagger Phantom, and this thingy is shorter/ and alot more responsive and edgyier than a phantom or occee. It took a white to get used to the chine, but once you get it in the water. WOW this boat carves, surfs, and paddles like a dream. Defintly Impossible to learn in, and is targeted at advanced open boaters. Farly easy to roll. Not to different than my phantom i found. Defintly an impressive boat. I got to try it On the Madawaska River.

Great shots Olaf!! And description of the pocket-I hadn't heard about it yet.

Mind if I add them to the collection (feel free to use the one's I've got up there!)?

Ya it's got these stern pockets that indent into the boat ( i don;t think there shown in the pictures) That allow your blade to get that just a little extra bit closer to the hull of the boat to allow for a better stern pop in the pry or draw.
