A friend who fits into the "big guy" category is looking for a boat that
tracks well and can be used on lower class rapids for paddling rivers and
lakes.  He has a Prism sit-on-top fishing boat (fishing is a main interest)
but is headed up north shortly and prefers a cockpit instead of sitting in
cold water.  He's tried several of Prijon boats and was told the Eddyline
Merlin XT composite boat might fit his needs.  Does anyone have
recommendations for a good tracking, not too long, big guy, fishing,
river/lake boat or any feedback on using the Merlin XT on small rapids?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

P.S.  Also, if any still has that list of Big Guy boats posted sometime
during the last year, please send my way.  Thanks.

Becky, who's still hoping to meet fellow paddlers in Florida's coastal
panhandle area in 2 weeks!
