Come on now, why would you want to paddle a Pirouette (no offense Bob
McD)when you could paddle a Wave Sport Diesel or Pyranha I-3.  Innovations
in basic river running vessels are found in many new school boats and having
a flat, planning hull can make the ride quite fun. Not to mention easier to
learn in, more stable and predictable.

I just got back from the Outdoor Retailer show for summer '05 and let me
tell you there are some innovations in boat designs waaaayyyyy beyond the
ol' school.
