took the emotion for its first paddle at olivers hill today
the good
feels pretty stable even through the boat wake
covers distance quick & easy
plenty of room for gear & esky/rods etc
tracks realy well & rides the chop well
the bad
sits low in the water so tends to get water through the scupper holes
leaks water in centre hatch
at 4.4m & 33kgs bit awkward to move around
also because of the length its like turning a truck around in the water (will have to get a rudder)
overall for what i paid for it brand new i'm very happy with it
