Perception Chinook NW. Bathtub. Not great handling, poor acceleration, and you can actually feel the hull flex when you stroke hard! Fit and finish is not so good, either.

Necky Looksha IV. I didn't like this one much either. It gets a lot of praise from some people, but it felt piggish to me as well. It felt rather sluggish when rolling, too, and there was a lot of slack in the rudder system. I didn't put the rudder down, but it felt lousy when bracing.

The Eddyline Night Hawk is an amazing boat, but it has a terrible, crappy hard backrest that distracts you from the otherwise wonderful features of this boat!
