Re: [Paddlewise] 19ft Sea Lion Skeptics

Sorry Rich, but just because we were skeptical doesn't mean we think you 
were lying.

Sorry you got that impression, but really that's not what I for one was 
thinking - and as it turns out, we *were* right - it's not a Sea Lion, 
but a new boat modified from a Sea Lion - and since you asked about 
reviews of the boat originally, this is relevant because with a hull 
modified this much, I wouldn't think any reviews of the stock boat would 
have much relevance.
