Philip,
        You can see how this boat engenders pasions like very few others.
One thing everyone on this list does agree on .....it is a great boat and
more than that a magic carpet.  Unless you are very skilled, or have a lot
of time to learn, your choice of new or recycled is a wise choice.  Good
luck you will have such a goooood time!
