Mental

Has there been indication on pricing for these new models????

All looks like an emprovement but I wish they would get rid of the rubbish screw hatch....

Wow big announcment.
Slightly supprised they didnt do a solid handle on the nose like the ultra, that handle is a huge improvement.
But still looking good.

... hmmm when was is the other 'new' boat being released?

Hahaha your a hard man to please mike...
Three new boats have just been announced, and your still asking about the fourth

Yeah I guess . I wouldn't really call the Prowlers above 'new' boats and I'm personally not that moved by the changes.

As for the Scrambler 11...other than the moulded inserts and handles (which to me seem the wrong way at the front and back) - oh and the new label - isn't it the same as the Pacific angler was?

I guess I was expecting more... a lot more.

Is it just me?

Was there not discusion regarding a new material that would make the "New kayaks" lighter as well????

^^ That would have been about the baracuda.
