hey followers,
 i got out on the water today, twice....  once to try out the new creeker i obtained saturday, and another time for some playboat practice in the rockstar. 

i did get some flatwater time with the new logic today.   here is my overall review based on the first impression paddling at normal conditions, on a small lake.

Liquid Logic HOSS
lenght.... 7'9"
weight....40lbs
volume....70 gals
ideal paddler weight.... 160 to 243
boat type....white water creeker/river runner

Overall rating.  8 out of 10

I took the boat out on Lake Erie, the lake behind Forest City School, for an initial test. 
my first impression when i first sat in.... Roomy.  lots of leg room, yet kind of small in the hips area, just like my liquid logic cr250 playboat/river runner. I had to take the hip pads out, no need for them anyways.  I was a little cramped because i hadnt adjusted the boat to my size beforehand.  I did adjust it afterwords at home.   This boat has the same spin disk planing hull that  is on the playboats of the day.  unlike the Jefe and the remix series, it does not have the rounded displacement hull.  It does take a little to get used to that type of hull, planing hulls are tricky.  they grab eaiser.  I didnt roll it over, the water was a little chilly.  I don't think it will roll any harder than the other boats, it seems to be on par with my cr250.  which i love.  Not quite as comfortable as the jackson rockstar but def, ok. 

the boat tracks well for its size, just like the other boats in my arsenal it does spin out when you stop forward momentum... thanks to the planing hull.  it is very responsive to paddle movement though. 

the boat has a super comfortable "cone of comfort" in the bow.  works really well and is adjustable, the backband and saddle are identical to my cr250.  the backband is a racheting type. and the rachets are bolted through the sprayskirt ring, to the thigh braces.

the boat partnered with Black Diamond* to install the hitch points anchors.  this boat has three on the stern and two on the bow. 

overall:  the boat is super clean with awesome lines, love the color..a fire orange.  the black diamond bars are great.  the super volume in the bow is great for boofing of ledges and drops.  it seems to resurface great, i did bring it up on edge and the stability is awesome.  overall i am very happy with the boat.  I took it home and tinkered with it, adjusted the seat, and thigh braces, and i think the boat fits like a glove now.... cant wait to take it on some big water... skinners falls, next, then maybe the class 3 drop on the lackawanna inbetween forest city and simpson.   until next time my friends.
stay dry. :OP
