Hi, all. 

I'm taking an interest in the Argonaut (sp?) by Valley, which I think the dealer may have said was a relatively new boat (or maybe it was new for his list of offerings, I don't recall).  The dealer and I can't coordinate our schedules for a "test drive" for several more weeks, so obviously, I've not had a chance to paddle it.

Anyone familiar with it and can provide any comments?

Sad to say, I haven't had the privilege either.  It is a new model as of
last late summer/ early fall.  It is a larger version of the Avocet, a
sporty little VCP number in both glass and plastic.  we use the plastic one
for a rock garden/ surf boat for smaller folks.  Very similar to a Romany
16.

the Argo should be pretty nice, tho I'm not a huge fan of oval VCP hatches,
especially in the bow.
