Joan asks>>> I hate to sound ignorant, but what's a Romany Elite? The *Elite* is just the normal Romany 16 with a fancy lay-up schedule, carbon bulkheads and other fancies. Same hull and deck mold, lighter, fancier boat. In fact you can get any of the NDK boats in the Elite cofiguration for just a little more <?> $$$$ NDK did introduce a LV, low volume, series of Romanys and EXplorers last fall for the smaller paddler. Haven't seen one yet. I'm more of a fan of HV, high volume, models for the gear carrying capabilities. steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
