I have paddled an XT and an Epic Sport , both are good , but don't feel much faster than a spec ski , I cannot fit in the seat of a V10L or a Mako6 , so I was wondering if there are any other alternatives/
Have you done flatwater timed-run comparisons of at least 30-60min. on a known course? My impression is that by-the-seat-of-the-pants, I cannot perceive the difference in speed of a slower boat and a significantly faster boat. By the latter I mean a boat that will on a 60min. course, have me finishing .5 mi. ahead of myself than on the slower boat.
