My SO unloaded her Shadow and got a Solstice GTS. I haven't paddled any of those in rough conditions but rented a Shadow for a weekend. I'm about the same size as Dxmetal2003 and the Shadow fit me *much* better than the Eclipse I con't comment on Dagger products - the only Dagger I ever got in was an Ocoee and that's not even a kayak (some would say it's not a proper canoe either :-) Unfortunately i do not have a mean to demo these boats personally before the purchase. Then you're taking a big risk. I would never buy a kayak based on a recommendation - especially one from the Internet. Would you buy hiking boots based on opinions without ever trying them on? What I have to wonder is if he doesn't have the means to demo those boats personally why limit the choices to Dagger and Perception. |
