Re: [Paddlewise] Your expertise needed again

"Tupperware" is an excellent term for the "oil-canning" of my heavily loaded
OT Disco in moving water... At first I thought it was a construction
material defect, not  the material/design defect it represents. Still we
have paddled  about 1200 miles in it on BIG Lakes and Rivers ) like
Alberta's Peace River in flood)....it is a beginners boat, and fit my early
interest and low skills, and budget. Next year , I am hoping to get a Bell
Northwoods, either in glass or kevlar.

I know you are discussing kayaks, but it applies to canoes as well.
And..AH!!! the epiphany when I first travel in a "top of the line boat"  .
