I'm just starting to get into whitewater canoeing after many years paddling solo on flatwater and I would like some advice on a good intermediate boat.
So far the names that have jumped out at me are the Dagger Ovation and the Mad River Outrage, but I'm still trying to sort out what's what.
I'm also a bigger guy (6'4" -215 lbs) and I'm not entirely sure how that plays into what boats are more suitable.
There's also a Mad River Fantasy for sale near by, but I can't find much info on it.
Any advice at all is welcome!

...I stand by the glowing review I posted of the Prodigy X, in the thread Wendy has linked you to.

You haven't mentioned any lenghts. You might want to check out the DEFIANT. The guy who designed it was about your size at the time.
I'm pretty light for it but enjoyed it very much when I tried it out.
