Good Hull, but outfitting can be a bit uncomfortable

The new Liquid Logic El Jeffe seems to be a great boat in big volume creeks. Its well ditributed 76 gallons keeps the boat steadily on the surface giving you lots of extra time to make your moves.

It punches small holes easily and has good hull speed to blast through boils and eddy fences.

The backband is bomber, but the small surface area can make it a bit uncomfortable when it is cinched up tight. The bar holding the backbands also gets in the way a bit when you try to get gear behind your seat.

The thighbraces are also a bit too narrow if you have skinny knees, but you can probably glue extra blocks into them.

Overall the boat has great potential, but (suprisingly) the outfitting needs some work.
