The Carolina 14 footer has served me for many, many miles of paddling on the Green and Colorado rivers. It is stable enough to kneel and access the gear in back while floating, or just kick back and let your feet dangle in river and watch the tamarisk drift by. Yet, it's aslo sleek enough that when the afternoon headwinds pickup, you'll get to camp before the bullfrogs start croakin' without doing any yourself. The only thing that I didn't like was that the bulkheads began leaking after about a year, but some silicone caulk has fixed that. It was probably from some off the rough roads I have bounced this boat down in the years of service it has given me.
