Necky Blunt Review
About myself
I've been paddling for almost 2 years. Paddle mainly class 3/4 rivers when I can. Paddle a playboat most of the time, except for the Blunt, obviously!
About the test environment
On the shallow rocky rivers of South Africa. Several overnight trips where the boat was fully loaded with all kinds of clobber. Rivers I've mostly paddled have not been too steep.
Review
+Excellent plastic.
+Loads of room for gear and lots of footroom.
+Boofs well and the acceleration is excellent.
+Fast enough to surf the small crappy waves. ;-)
-Outfitting not good. Requires lots of foam and patience.
-Terrible back rest.
-Drain plug is not protected and can take a beating.
-Turning requires a fair amount of muscle power.
=Good boat
Conclusion
Pity they don't make this boat anymore. Same hull with new outfitting would be great!!!
