My Rival is almost worn out, and since Dagger is no longer making WW
canoes, I'm considering a Bell Prodigy. Has anyone ever paddled this
boat, or have any first hand knowledge about it?

Thanks,

David

I paddled Bob's personal Prodigy on fla****er down in Charleston and
liked the way it handled. Much faster on flat that you would expect it
to be. Then I paddled Chris Hipgrave's boat on the Nantahala. I felt
rather out of control in it. I think it may have been due to the saddle
height. Chris is 5' 17" and sets his boat up a little differently than I
do, perhaps.

Look at a Pyranha Prelude or wait for Esquif's new "top secret material"
boat...... they don't wear out! I'm not knocking the Prodigy... but ABS
is Junk if you are hardcore at all. Check C-Forum for more canoe info.

Cheers!,
