In Response To: Re: sounds like - - - (M. Hamilton)

is a wonderful boat. but you're right, the quality is almost mediocre. i have serious brush stroking marks in the pigment, spider cracking of the gelcoat, chiping of the coming and the rear hatch leaked through the skeg box until i fixed it. that said, the boat is an extroardinary performer in big seas and is a fun boat on the calm waters locally. i bought it knowing the QC was lousy and up to now anyway that was just something you had to accept. if they improve the quality to match Valley Canoe's products they will be hard to beat. naturally, this happens AFTER i've already bought the Romany. seems that everything i buy is IMPROVED the following year --- sheeesh. :-) dan
