That's quite an endorsement! I see the newer models of the Super Lynx
look different from those of many years ago. More aerodynamic.

Larry: any idea why AIRE rates the Super Lynx so much higher than the
Lynx-2 for weight capacity? The boats are about the same dimensions,
the Super being 1.5' longer and 4" narrower. Rated 475# versus 600#.
Do you think it's just because whitewater boats shouldn't sink as far
into the water as fla****er boats can?
