Abuelo

I used a friends pack a few times.

It was not the most solid boat (in Royalex). there was some oil
canning, i.e., the bottom of the boat would flex a lot as I moved in
the boat.

It was slow, but it would turn nicely.

I would not want to put much gear in it, keep it for day trips,
instead of overnight stuff.

They are light enough for kids to paddle, but they are rather wide.

They have made them forever, they don't come up for sale too often.
If you buy used, I bet you get your money back in a years time, if you
don't like it.

What the heck, hardly any risk, I say, go for it.
