One way to describe the SOAR Pro Pioneer: WOW!
But if you want more detail, here goes. We were so impressed with this boat!
Sure, with a thousand pounds of gear (see attached photo), we put her "maneuverability"
to the test, but what other craft could carry this much crap and still be paddled by two people?!
Our western arctic shoot (on the Utukok River) went great -- lots of caribou, a white wolf, and a
very close, very cool grizzly "camped" across the river from us. PBS will be happy!
Favorite features:
- Many, many D-rings. We used all of them.
- The way that the boat swallowed our bear barrels--they fit perfectly athwart and stacked nicely.
Also we discovered a Thermos-brand collapsible cooler that not only fits athwart (24W x 15T x 12W),
but made a terrific container for out 1000-watt Honda generator AND a 65# deep-cycle battery.
- Rugged construction. After much tugging to get un-stuck from shoals, handles and D-ring
attachement points didn;t budge or show signs of strain.
- Stability of platform. Not 'tippy."
Thanks to both of you for working with us.
Cheers,
