: Hi all -

Well, here's a shot of the Merganser in the water. Barb and I liked it's strong tracking and quick speed. However, we were both disappointed in what seemed to be very stiff turning characteristics. We were both expecting it to be more nimble. Any of you other Merganser paddlers care to share your experiences with the boat? I'm considering grinding off that pronounced sharp angle the bow makes at the waterline and re-glassing and re-finishing. It is very stable and quick.

Jim
