Which Creeker?

I'm looking at getting a creeker to convert to c1. I have the choice of a Bliss-Stick SCUD, MAC or Mystic. Has anyone converted any of these boats? Any suggestions on what I should get?
Thanks

I would try the Mac.
Longer/ faster than the MAC and a nice tail for pivot turns and wide in the knee area.
Have fun

I've converted a SCUD and a Mystic, they make great C boats...I'd beware of the SCUD if you're a small person - high volume, short length, low paddler weight could leave ya in the hole for longer than you care to be there.

I have a converted Mystic, which I really enjoy. I find it predictable enough on most things to not worry too much about catching edges or getting stuck.

I will be in NZ (North Island) from mid-November. You are welcome to have a try in it sometime if you are around.

Thanks

That would be my choice too.

I'm 65 kg (that's 143 lb) so proabably too light for the SCUD by the sound of that.
Gwyn, I'd love to try the boat, but am in the South Island so probably not possible.
I've also just been offered a Wavesport Stubby - anyone know what this would be like? It looks like it would make a good c1.
Thanks
