Great, got mine last weekend from FTU. It will be awhile before I get to take it out on the water. Like to know how it go for you and you got any idea on rigging it up.

Just got back form first paddle, was great! A little water in the foot well part of the time, I weigh in at 250 but not enough to get wet. Very little got in the back well but was not loaded. I am very well satisified with the handling and is much more comfortable than my old FnD with the molded in foot wells.

I do not like the idea of wearing waders while kayaking so when I found Water blocker socks from Sealskinz at KFS I bought them and they worked great toady in shallow water and I did not get wet, had a pair of Stearns Ripstop Nylon lined pants from Wallyworld and was very dry. I feel like if my feet are dry I can stay warm.

This is one model I am looking at too. How is the stability?

It seems very stable, I can only compare it to a Cobra F&D that I had. I have put a Lowrance 320C and a Scotty three mount bar on it but the ice has prevented me from getting on the water.
