----- Original Message ----- From: "Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe" <aldercreek_at_qwest.net> > > Kevin, cheaper outfitting?? > Yes, the outfitting seemed slightly less rugged than my recollection from extensive paddling of their boats in 1999 (or thereabouts). But it's still some of the best in the business, with some clever ideas. I love the rubber bushings on the foot pedal (very comfortable, no lack of bracing support), and the extra large rear cockpit coaming (very easy to put on a skirt). As far as I am aware, nobody else does that. But still, it seemed like they are cutting a few corners in production compared to two years ago. Though perhaps this has no noticeable effect. Anyhow, this is just an initial opinion based on five minute examination on a store floor.
