Moss -

"I am confused by your comparison above and how the Indy compares to a Magic.

The Magic is 6 inches narrower at the gunwale, 3 inches narrower at the waterline, 4 inches longer and almost no rocker where the Indy has 2.5 inches on both ends."

my Indy does not have 2.5" of rocker - more like 1" if that, so it is likely a different iteration of the same boat.  The Merlin we all test paddle had 2.5" of rocker - it was way turnier than my Indy and the Magic
