What kind of paddling do you plan on doing? I think that the Remix is a great river runner/creeker, but it is a bit long in today's world. This makes it considerably faster than some other boats. Also, if you already have an RPM, why do you need a remix? the only real difference between the two is outfitting and the remix has slightly more volume in the bow and stern. First, demo it. keep in mind that a longer boat = more speed but generally less maneuverability. Also, check out a Prijon Cyclone/Tornado and the Dagger Green Boat, as these are both great long boats.
