Raptor Kayak--Santa Cruz

I had been wanting a Raptor since the first time i logged into Jim's website but the only problem was he was in California an i was in Alabama with no dealers even close to me--this was a problem i thought until i gave Jim a call an my problem was solved in a matter of minutes(literally)he had me a price including shipping an my Raptor was on the way !!!!!!SUPER nice guy to talk to an deal with.When i recieved my boat the packaging was unbelievable no way my boat was going to be damaged unless a tractor or something fell on it !!!Now--this is the most remarkable kayak i have ever owned--UNBELIEVABLE !!!--stability on the water is awesome an i"m a pretty good size boy-6' 245#--short of falling out or just purposely make the boat flip over --IT WON"T. Fast -turn on a dime-tons of storage--absolutely a definate head turner on the water-everyone asks where did yoou get it !!!!!an whenyou let them pilot it you can see them smiling 40 yards away !!!There is absolutely nothing i could say negative about this kayak- NOTHING-an Jim an the guys at Santa Cruz are awesome. Now that Jim has come out with the SOT Raptor i'mjust waiting on the right color an one of those will be headed to Alabama. Keep up the great work guys---AWESOME KAYAK !!!!!
