Thanks Todd. Hadn't really thought about that. x(
One of my main concerns is the weight. One of the places I fish the most (Haiwee) requires me to carry my boat 30-40 yards to the water. I have to turn it sideways to get it through the walk-in gate. To much weight with my bad shoulder can make for a real quick day of fishing.

And of course, I'm not wanting to wait another month to get a boat :P If I have to wait, I'll probably still get the North Fork. It has a lot of real nice qualities like the VV. Each one is hand made and it has a lifetime warranty.
