Hence the reason i have to suck up to a lot of asses in this club!god knows who i'll swim next to but if i say that i'd love to have a body part of theirs they'll probably rescue me. Well that's my strategy anyway!

Less crap about swims. A guy has offered me a h3 that has seen 4 Weeks use, among other things. in norway for 800 bills. What do people think?

hey dave,

there's a fair few H3's floating around at the mo, with plenbty of satisfied owners. They're a really good boat.
I've got a 245 at home and am paddling a 255 out here (yeah, yeah, yeah, fat bastard and all that) and i love the boat.
The 255 wqould be way too big for what you need. 245 could be a good size for ya. Might be a squeeze in the 235. Check out the pyranha website for details on the weight ranges on the different sizes.

800 sounds like a good price if it's in good nick. It may only have 4 weeks use, but they could be 4 pretty intensive weeks, especially in norway

Thanks john, It's the 245. I think that it's had more than just the 4 weeks in norway. They are on top of normal use. I looked at the website and I think that I'm in the middle of the weight range of the 245. I also notice taht the boat house is fairly filling up wiyh broken pyranah creek boats. Is the plastic as bad as every one says?

yeah Simon, Tom, Lorcan and the 4 M3 owners i met in Scotland are all crap paddlers cos they all broke their boats!!!!! (ok the one M3 owner i saw paddle WAS crap but boats shouldnt fold up on contact with water "crumple zone" or not)

i personally wouldnt touch a pyrhana boat with a 20ft clown pole cos of the way i've seen some of them fall apart
