i was going to buy it myself but figured that'd just be plain greedy as i have a perfectly working creeker at the moment anyway

starting to control the urges to buy a good, cheap boat and destroy it within 5 months...WINNING! :)

Post by: Tiny Tim on March 29, 2012, 10:20:57: Yeah Iv just bought one, very very comfortable boat. quite roundy (unlike a burn for example) though so ud wanna make sure that suits you.

Is that boat not broken and repaired?
Title:
Post by: CormacR on March 29, 2012, 10:43:26: Yeah, edges (or lack there of) would be my only concern with a full on creeker. I'm getting some pics now. That price might suggest a repair job alright.

Post by: Simon R. on March 29, 2012, 11:19:10: the one i have isn't completely destroyed yet an alps trip this summer will surely compete its gentle transition into a flower pot.

Post by: Simon R. on March 29, 2012, 11:20:42: No boat hasn't been repaired the guy bought it second hand so it'd be moving onto its 3rd owner. if theres a repair i couldn't see it in the pics and he says there isn't one.

Right you are simon! There was one goin goin for sale which had been.

The habbitat actually does have edges, they start about your thigh and get more pronounced towards the back of the boat.
It is a different sensation though, your more than welcome to demo mine.

Post by: CormacR on March 29, 2012, 16:58:46: Yeah, I was in a Diesel on the roughty Bill.
Could you bring yours along on Saturday if you're coming Dave? I could give it a bit of a flat water paddle.
