Let's just start out by saying the Rocker is my new creek boat (I like it) and I'll hit on the highlights. I demoed most of the new creek boats out there and settled on the rocker, here's why. First off the boat has got to perform and the rocker does that with a stable feel and good secondary stability. There are no fancy edges to trip on, just a round displacement hull that catches eddys and goes up,around and on rocks with ease. Second the boat has got to be durable, with cross link plastic, No holes, a well padded bulkhead and a very stiff hull makes this boat feels like it will take a beating. Third the outfitting has got to be comfortable (we all want to be comfy). When I first looked at the boat I thought that the outfitting looked a bit cheesy, with the sweet cheeks and the ropes unstead of the ratcheting straps. When I sat in the boat and learned how to adjust the sweet cheeks and pulled the ropes as tight as I wanted it fit me like a glove. As a matter of fact Bernie brought me my new boat to the put in of Glade creek with 10" of snow inside the boat and the air temp around 30 degrees, even though my fingers were numb, I had it outfitted and ready to go in 10 minutes. So all in all the Rocker is worth a look if you want a new boat and want a true creeking hull,,,,, IMPO
