If you plan to do little playboating and more river running go with the fun, I love mine, it seems to be a very forgiving boat and handles quite well. The only problem is that it is not exactly slicey. If you want to do mostly playboating definitely go with an allstar. they're actually more gallonage than the funs but way slicier. im looking for a playboat currently and i am trying out the M nemesis as soon as i can get my hands on one, but either that or the allstar would work well. the allstar was just too large for me to be comfortable in.
