Interesting statement from somebody whose boats are sold with names like
Q400XG. :) Not that I'm so creative.

Both of my canoes were built by Mohawk in Florida, although I think the
original Mohawks lived in New York. The model names are not so
inappropriate, though, since the Viper's hard chines will bite, and I've
been bitten several times while lollygagging. And the Edge...well, 'nuff
said.
