My wife and I just moved to Lyons near the North St. Vrain River. We are are beginner paddlers but athletic enough to advance rapidly. I would like to get some boat recommendations for myself and my wife.
I am 6'2 190 lbs and my wife is 5'5 135 lbs. We aren't interested in rodeo or play boats..just mainly river running I think.
I have looked at the Dagger GT 8.1 for me and the Dagger GT 7.8 for her. I also liked the Nomad 8.5 but I have yet to try either one.
My wife liked the feel of the Perception Java but has not tried it yet.
I know, I know...a good demo program would be the best.
What is the difference between a "creek boat" and a regular boat? Does the NSV and SSV qualify as a "creek"?
I have a hookup for Dagger or Perception Kayaks so I am somewhat limited to those two brands.
Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
Kevin
