Yeah, I'll ask Paul Meyer again about the Wildfire. I am talking with him again tomorrow about which canoe I want him to build me. I was thinking I'd like the Wildfire too but he said with confidence that the Starfire was the choice. Decisions, decisions. Anyone have experience with Mad River...

This Starfire is long gone. I am looking for one and called the seller. :He had it sold in 9 hours. I may end up having to order a new one. I want it set up solo.
