Hmmm, I think we need to get these friends of yours into a room and kick the snot out of them. :-) About the only reason I could think of to not buy a foldable (assuming storage is not a problem) is the initial cost. Otherwise, in all respects, a foldable is just as respectable a boat as the best hardshell. There are some intangible benefits as well. People are always commenting on my Feathercraft. People watch you put it together and ask questions. People will paddle over to you and ask about the boat and say how great it looks. Of course, if you hate to have people talk to you, then that would be another reason not but one. :-) N.D.
