Some of my boats are relatively expensive and some are average (but still more expensive than "junk boats"). The people I paddle with know exactly why I chose the boats I have. I don't have to justify or explain those choices to any of them, and they are not "impressed" in any way shape or form - they just "understand".
The people I know who are NOT paddlers would NOT be impressed in any way, and yes, I HAVE heard the comment "why would you spend that much on a boat to which you can't even attach a motor?" Impressing people with my choice of boats just doesn't enter into the picture, and I believe that is true for most other paddlers too.
It’s easy for…
someone who has only paddled inexpensive plastic rec boats, to “knock” expensive. “snobby” composite boats…
Until they try one…
An Elite RecBoat …
WTF is that ?
The marketing types must have had a hernia coming up with that.
It’s like a FORD PINTO is an Elite POS.
