I have a Swift Cruiser 15.8 that I bought last year. I met Bill at a demo day in Saranac Lake last spring and again in Old Forge a month later where I decided to get one I had a couple of speicial reaquests with the seat and carry yoke. Bill had the boat built and personally delivered it to my home in northern NY on his way just 30 days later. Unlike a couple of other boat builders I was considering buying similar similar boats from who had either an unknown delivery date, or a one year wait.
I like the boat very muh and i am a flat water and slow river paddler, so my main concern is light weight and transportability, not so much durability or rocky encounters. Will I race it? dunno, haven't done the full analysis in comparason to my other solos yet (PB Rapidfire or Shadow).
