Don't forget my Big Red Squid!!! Gosh I miss that girl. 16' fast as lightning, and the the "wings" on the front pushed your nose right over the surf. The only reason I got rid of her was lack of a tank well. Outside of that she was beast.

I came across one on CL and was intrigued but I couldn't find enough information about using it as a fishing kayak. Aside from the lack of a tankwell what other issues did you have with it? What were your favorite traits? Was it halfway decent to surf launch?

Surf launches were awesome. Literally pushes the nose up and over the crest of the wave. It was super fast and streamline. Tracked very well and had plenty of secondary stability. I could lean way over and feel comfortable. I'm almost 300# and 6'4" I was comfortable on it. Fished mostly thresher from it. I'd never own this as my primary kayak because of the absence ofa rear well but if I ever found another one I would definitely grab it as a secondary or just asa leisure paddler.
