: Funny, I figured it might come down to something like that boat.
: The folks I've met who have QCC's love them, I just wish they
: didn't look like minivans :)

: A boat that length would solve the problem I have with storage, and
: since I occasionally paddle with newer paddlers, it would make a
: perfect "loaner." Hmmm.

Friend has one, the QCC one and I've paddled it alot, it's not "sexy" but it also does everything you ask it to do other than have a really high top speed, but it'll cruise nearly effortlessly at around 4.5 mph all day and you might reach 6 mph if you're pushing. This is seat of the pants feel for speed as I've not tried it with the GPS.
