I am a larger than average paddler (6'3", 245 lbs) and I can't get my legs comfortable in those super small boats. As a solo boat, the Caption is perfect for me. It even has room for a little gear, like lunch or a fishing rod. This is a very versatile boat - even thogh it has a fair amount of rocker, its length gives it good speed and enough tracking to handle reaaasonably windy open water. Its reputation as a tandom boat, of course, needs no embellishment from me.

Customer Service

Dagger customer support provided me with excellent instructions on installation of triple pedestal, float bags, and thigh straps.

I have owned a Phantom (couldn't paddle it for more than 30 minutes without my legs going to sleep) and still own a Discovery 169.

Pretty much like the review says - this is a great plastic tandem whitewater boat. It could have more edge but thats what glass slalom boats are for.

On my third - I like the yellow. Have paddled around (Upper Yough, Gauley tandem and here in Idaho) and would not suggest it as a solo creek boat (unless you are a physically big person) but it does do well solo in big water (Lochsa -7 1/2') If its not dry enough get a deck.
