About myself I weight 218. Not huge but big. About the test environment i tested this boat on the Goodwin Canyon section of the Stanislaus River in California Class IV+ Review Honestly, I have not paddled every creek boat out there, so I'm not going to even try to compare the Mega-Rocker to other boats. However, I have owned the original Rocker and will give you an idea of the differences between the Rocker and the Mega Rocker. I chose the Stanislaus river for two reasons. 1. it was running in December. 2. it has some challenging rapids but nothing too life threatening. Outfitting: Same as the Rocker only improved. The Back band is a lot better and doesn't have that silly slip cover on it, like the old Jacksons. The Bulk head is also improved so that you can now stow gear in the Bow. There isn't a ton of room up there, but enough for my first...
