This is (well was) my first year of boating and all I can say is “what a journey”. I called around, did my research and finally decided on the ammo, which after almost one full year of paddling was a great choice. Now I’m not running class 5, although I have, it’s not something I do everyday so with that being said I’m more of a class 4 boater. The ammo isn’t the easiest of boats to roll, the habitat is much simpler, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard or you should think twice about a purchase.

The boat has some play, yet its carving ability is less then stellar and you’re never going to be doing huge air unless you’re just a freak! (Again its not a playboat). So its not the greatest creak boat (Habitat and Jefe take that prize) and its not a good playboat, but it’s not trying to be either one. The ammo is a damn fine boat when it comes to being able to do a little bit of everything on every river. I’ve bombed down great class 4 & 5, yet been able to have fun and play on class 3 or even 2.

I’m not a great fan of the ammo when on large volume rivers simple because of its smaller size (the river can toss you around a bit easier then a larger boat). The outfitting broke too many times to count, but it was always something simple, a piece of rope or a screw, nothing major (a minute fix) I’ve logged a lot of miles in the ammo on all types of rivers and everyone I paddled with wished they where in my boat unless it was a large volume hard river. When it comes to creeks the boat is solid. When I finally destroy this boat (the way I paddle I give it another 2 years) I’m definitely going to be going with another.
