In Response To: Re: Launching: Two Solace 16XL's get wet (Myrl Tanton)
: I've been considering this design for a while (or the new 18)... Can you give lots of details on how it handles, cargo room etc.
Myrl,
On first blush, I would say the initial and secondary stability were excellent, plus it's a pretty quick boat compared to my CLC Mill River. Tons of cargo room both for and aft, even with flotation. Great deck angle makes paddling a breeze. You could pack two weeks in this boat without much of a problem. Some salt water fishing from these boats is in the offing for next week, we'll let you know.
