The Stikine™ is all about being wet and wild.
It’s a fast and stable pack horse than can handle your self-supporting gear with a light touch and superb feel. Speaking of gear, the Stikine incorporates a unique storage system that gives you access to your stern storage (which can hold big packs like Pelican cases) through the seat’s backband. And because of its comfort, stability and maneuverability, beginners and intermediates enjoy the same benefits that experts rely on in the most dangerous situations. Which means this boat is great for instruction. It can take the wild stuff and cruise the flat. So go out and tame the untamable and accomplish the impossible.

About the reviewer
I am a 5 year paddler now. don't think I am a class V paddler yet but working myself in that direction. I have 7 boats.Test environment
I have had this boat on the Kern River at 6000 cfs. I think this boat saved my XXXX. It seems to really stay on top of the water much more than my gt 8.1. I wanted a shorter boat for most rivers that I run because I like technicle stuff. If i was looking for a whitewater boat that I was going to try to camp in this would be one of my choices because of the room. I don't think it makes a good creeker. At least not on the creeks I run. Its too long. If you had a steep creek that was wide enough for a bit slower turns it would be good for that though.Review
well first I would say I question the gallons listed this boat has. It is much bigger than my gt 8.1 and it has it listed as less than that boat. it floats like a bobber on the water....It is a big water boat and floats like one. It is roomy inside and a friend of mine is always borrowing this boat and he is 6'4" about 230 or so.Not a real quick turner because of its length but has very good hull speed.
Course my friend paddles it all the time with me and does the same rivers as I do.
If i was doing a longer run like on the Colorado this boat would be perfect for that. Or if your a big paddle this boat is a great choice.
I would say for what type of boat it is would be a 5 for overall use it would be a 3 so I rated it a 4.
Conclusion
Over all I like this boat but for overall use I like a shorter boat. It does not have a planing hull but I can still surf it on the rapids. I have never had it to the ocean. it rolls good and really has a rounded bottom with little chine if any.Review
