I am sorry to disagree, I just get there faster with less work, as soon as I shut the engine down, I am again a yak, with all the great things they intail, plus there is NO hull slap and the thicker hull foam deadens the noise. They paddle as well or better than the PA's, are more stable and as I said earlier they are very quiet. As to swell I had mine in Gonzaga last weekend in 10-15 mph winds with normal short interval swell, no problemo. NO you are NOT going to RUN home in those conditions at much over idle speed but get you home it will and you shoud not be exhausted from paddling OR pedaling.
Are they perfect? NO, NO, NO but they are another tool in your arsenal. If pelegics show in La Jolla this year there will be Solo's there. For the older guy's these might work out ok once we figure the loading thing out. Tight Lines.
