yes, awesome.
Pretty flat hull, really nice forgiving chines.
Does not resurface quite as nice as some other creekers.
All in all a very well balanced C1

Cheers, Jan
Is there something like an expert kayaker?

Diesel

Post by CanoeBoy »

I love my Diesel 75 C-1. Its an awesome river runner, its quick and stable and strong edges make it very lively. Its and awsome high volume boat that is great for people that are more used to play boat type hulls. It also is rather roomy and easy to roll.

Burn vs. Diesel

Post by David Good »

Is there anyone who can give a comparison of the Burn and the Diesel? They seem pretty similar to me, but haven't actually paddled either...

Diesel / Burn

Post by Bernie »

Before I make the comparison I want to totally agree with Jan's description of the Diesel.

The big difference is in favor of the Burn. It is faster, stays on the surface, plays really good for a surface boat, and boofs better than any c-1 I have paddled. For all this to be possible it has little less initial stability, great secondary stability, hard elevated chines, and lots of rocker on both ends.

If you want a creeker and want to save money, the Y boat is the dinosaur to the diesel. Good C-1 :D not as playful.
