I have decent time in the Diesel 75, little time in the others

1) Remix:

Very fast boat - both waterline speed and acceleration
Roomy cockpit, tapers to the feet
Best outfitting
Edges are there, but not sharp - will let you know "gently" when they are  up/down
good to roll
Good downriver, catch on the fly play
Great quality
A little asymmetrical bow to stern

2) Diesel (75)

more of a creeker hybrid than a river runner
Plenty of space
Good outfitting
Odd crotch pad in seat was very uncomfortable
not built for play, high edges
decent speed, decent acceleration - bow tended to plow through water
It felt like my old Y (which I loved) - a little narrower, way more room, a tight seat fit, quicker on the water

3) dagger GT (large one  - still in Europe?)

pretty quick boat
ok to roll - not the easiest
built for river running
ok room
Did not like the outfitting or quality (this was a well used older boat)

4) Dagger Mamba (large one)

Slower that the GT (I think)
more room - vertically for the knees, better outfitting
Predictable to paddle, more of a soft creeker/river running

5) Jackson SHero

Did not fit at all - did not like the splayed leg design mentality or the outfitting
Slow

My favorite was the remix 79 (in chopper white), but I will find a Diesel 80 to demo in the spring
Also need some time in the Riot Thunder 75


my opinions
