-Well here it is, close to mid nov, dark, cold,( but more wind)not very many post'​s,​so I'm wondering , seeing that a lot of people are getting a least 2 boats, a 17" and a 19", which boat is overall, fastest in verious ​conditions, and which is best overall. Conditions would be :flat water:just white caps;​3-4'​ waves (wind, it's all we get here) and 6-8' Gorge stuff. And then rebound nasties.Seems like we have experience in the Fenn XT Huiki R and Epic Sport, (fat boy) and the Think Eveo. Of course the lay up and overall weight will have a bearing also. I've paddled the R a little and the sport lot. The Think Evo once and never in the Fenn. So this winter I'll try to sort it out and check in later. DJ, I need to paddle one of your Fenn's and someone'​s R.I can say this about my lightweight sport, catches waves like crazy ,quicker than my V10 to jump on small waves. Stable as a rock except when suprised by a quartering wave from the rear.But overall in tough water I'm faster in the sport. But thats just me ,old and mid-pack with 3 years in and out of the saddle.+Well here it is, close to mid nov, dark, cold,( but more wind)not very many post'​s,​so I'm wondering , seeing that a lot of people are getting a least 2 boats, a 17" and a 19", which boat is overall, fastest in serious ​conditions, and which is best overall.
