	Hey everyone. I'm a newbie to the sport (only in my 2nd summer) and I'm really hoping a few of you can give me some advice about oil cannig. I looked at a used playboat today & it appeared (to me) to have some oil canning on the hull (3 separate spots looked concaved just a bit). How much would this affect the boat's/my performance on the river? Would a newbie be able to tell? Should I forget that boat immediately? I'm deciding between this older playboat (2002) and relatively new/used playboats (2006/2007), but there is obviously a HUGE price difference and I'm on a pretty tight budget, plus, this would be my first playboat. What do you think? I appreciate the advice! Dave

Not true.  Just earlier today he suggested that someone hook jumper cables to their nipple. tcookson New

There are so many used boats on teh market now than ever before, so if I were you, I'd pass, even if you are on a budget <NT> TheBroncoKid New
