Title: Re: Looking For Solo Canoe Suggestions
Post by MossBack on May 9th, 2018 at 4:14am
I found my pile of misc. Indy information gleaned from the net.  Apparently the Indy went through several years of subtle and not so subtle changes.  I believe my boat is a 2002 model with some Kevlar in the hull and listed as the "KE" model.

Several places I found rocker listed as 1.5 and 1.75 and a couple more at 2.5 and 2.5.

One of our members here specifically mentions 2.5 rocker and how he had difficulty "sticking" the stern in a tailwind.

As previously warned, I always come with questions.

Is there a way to actually measure rocker on a boat?

Is rocker the same as the shear line at a given depth?

If I do buy a Magic, what will I be gaining over the Indy other than 10 to 12 lbs lighter?

Thanks for any and all comments.

Regards,

MossBack
