Steve
do ever get in trouble from the marketing folks?
thanks
well I went down to my local dealer purcahsed my new tempest17. The tsunami 175 felt huge and loose to sit in. while the tempest feels more like an extension of my body thanks for all of the many opinions regarding any of it. I feel confident with the choice that I made. should be a real step up from sea kayaking in a prijon taifun.
bye bye.
Good choice
The Tempest is a great boat.
Congrats. Paddle the heck out of it.

Were we like this?? Maybe 20 years ago??
BTW I’m a 6 star at the local Thai restaurant!
Very interesting and impressive
It is essentially a plastic composite. Better than roto polyethylene for sure. But It is still heavier than a kevlar/glass composite boat with gelcoat.
Heavier than kevlar/glass with gel coat?
Depends on which kevlar/glass boat with gel coat that you are referring too. Many are over 50 lbs, many are under 50 lbs.
Enjoy it!
nope
They know I shoot from the hip.
and that I know my stuff.

Not bad, actually
when comparing kevlar/glass boats of the same length. For increased durability, I would take the thermoform. Wonder how the deck and the hull meet together. Whould they split after a 4’ drop?
