Best "all around" east coast boat" LeMitch New

Narrowing down my search for the all purpose boat. Any thoughts about the Jefe vs. the Burn? SirFlipsALot New

Burn      hands down <NT> Paddlelocity New

Also, Burn vs. Ammo? And Diesel? All these boats seem very similar. SirFlipsALot New

I would add a super hero to the mix,  cannot go wrong with any of them <NT> OkieBoater New

Don't forget the Riot Magnum! spydermn11 New

Burn out the two choices but.... swsheffield New

If he's coming from a playboat, the magnum might feel more responsive. arrmike New

I thought about the Magnum but I've got bad memories of my Big Gun. That sucker was hard to roll with two layers of SirFlipsALot New

It's VERY easy to roll. TonyRobinson New

Nothing at all like the Big Gun. arrmike New

NOTHING is like the Big Gun ScottBarnes New

I'm not sure if it was the xytec or the rocker profile.... arrmike New

probably the shape of the bow that you liked ScottBarnes New

Your on the right track, go demo a Burn and see what you think. granolapaddler New

So.. I'm down to the Diesel, Burn (or Ammo), and Magnum. The good thing is in comparing the specs the are very similar SirFlipsALot New

Is the Ammo gonna backender and get stuck in holes?  I like a short boat for the twisty ELF runs but too short can SirFlipsALot New

go full creek volume.  Ammo too much of a compromise ScottBarnes New

had a burn, switched to the mamba <NT> paddlingphool New

Burn is flatter and Jefe is rounder ScottBarnes New

Burn and or Ammo smithandjones New
