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. |
