Default Whitewater canoe for tripping?

OutrageX is a great boat, not my first choice for camping but you
couldn't go wrong with the boat overall. The Caption used to be a
Dagger design; wasn't it a tandem boat? I can see it's predecessor,
the Caper, being used solo tripping but I really don't think the
Caption performed all that well solo.

The Sunburst II that I recommended is sort of like your Camper in that
it has a pointy snout and tail but it has high gunwhales and it an old
style whitewater boat. If you get it, you can sell your Camper.

I've got to put a pitch in for an old style Whitesell Pyranha. It's
totally whitewater - actually it was based on the Sunburst but with a
rounded snout and tail and also a very interesting rounded midsection.
It would handle camping gear extremely well while being a total
whitewater boat.

Honestly, I'm not too keen on even using a 13 foot OutrageX as a
camping boat - maybe an overnighter, but it's really not going to
perform well with a load. The Whitesell Pyranha or the Sunburst II
would.
