the solo sprayskirt mods on http://www.folbot.com/forum.html for sturdier

Thanks for the input! You say, "go for it!", and Mike H. says,
"Don't!", but my mind is pretty much made up. Spent much time reading
the messages on the Folbot Forum, and everything I read there said,
"Yes!"
If I find it is a handful when paddling solo, I can always place an ad
in the personals - "Wife wanted, must have own paddle."


More like "it depends", please... The GII is a great boat, as others have
said. One thing I can say, it will keep you dry and right-side up. We've had
occasion to be hit by some pretty daunting boat wakes (including one
double-decker tour boat who apparently wanted to teach me some sort of
lesson) and it rode them with not the slightest worry of capsizing.
