Finally got the boat out for a run yesterday. The river is running high so I took it easy and just ran upstream for a couple of loops. Wow, this boat is really sensitive and you have to hold on to get it running straight. I wasn't sure how the turning was going to be and I thought I was taking it easy, but it whipped a 180 instantly with a slight turn of the wheel. There is hardly any movement to the steering nozzle, but the turning is incredible. There was still quite a bit of debris in the river so I took it easy for the first run. My legs are too short and I can't get the pedal all the way down, so I need to move the pedal back because the seats don't move. Definitely a wild ride and completely different from the speed skiff.
