Eye candy....my Swift Winisk...a nice solo craft....has a fair amount of rocker...turns on a dime....but also requires a correction stroke more often on long straight runs.

It has nice ash gunwales and cherry decking...which require MAINTENANCE...only if you want them to look good.  Mine have suffered lack of TLC...in fact those spendy ash gunwales and cherrywood are out under a snowbank right now....in the end....I did not want to spend the time or $$ to upkeep them.  I would have been better off without the eyecandy (much lighter too).
