WTB: Creek Boat hull for Conversion

After paddling an open boat in what felt like 38 degree weather today i realized i might want a c1 for the winter. I'm really looking for a dagger so my skirt will fit, but I'd be interested in almost anything inexpensive enough. Last thing I need is to add another boat. I've got a big EZ I'd be happy to trade.

I have a medium Burn I'd be willing to get rid of for $400. It's in good shape, I've had it since June. It's had some use on the Green but not a whole lot, it still has a lot of life left in it for sure. I'm about 155lbs, and I'd say it be good up to about 165, any heavier and it may get squirty when it gets pushy. The boat is in Brevard, NC.

i'm too big for a medium... about 185 when I'm in shape and I'll probably be pushing 195 by the time spring rolls around.

Dagger 8.5 nomad as a great boat. I'm 215 and paddle a mega rocker conversion. Great boat too but you have to get very forward in it to track properly. The meduim Rocker might be a good choice.
I used a Mamba 8.5 and liked it a lot, but for IV and up, it needs a little more volume in the stern for my weight. Ive heard a Huck was a super boat if you can find one. Good luck

I would stay away from the Huck, especially if you are big. It's a turd. Nomad is a good boat, as is an H3, which you could probalby find fairly cheap.
