Default Bell Prodigy and the Rival and Royalex

....but rolls much
easier than the Ocoee or the Skeeter.


Must be a dream to roll, then. I found I had to abandon the Ocoee for roll
practices because I could use such sloppy technique and still come up; it
was the easiest boat I've ever rolled.

I also find that Royalex isn't as tough as it once was. My old Blue Hole
Sunburst II took considerably more beating before showing half the wear my
Viper showed in it's first year. My OT Appalachian is starting to look like
one of those old Grumman ww canoes; not a smooth surface left, while my
neighbor's old (very old) Tripper, with it's uncountable loads of moosemeat
down rocky streams, is still relatively mark free. How sad.
