Sorry Doug, but you have your facts wrong regarding the original
Caribou. The Caribou (which has been produced since 1989) was originally
sold with a (no-cost) skeg option. When CD started to manufacture the
boat (in 1995 or 96), they did not make the skeg available, which was a
marketing blunder. The market for the boat was significantly broadened
when they added the skeg.
