I am currently on the colorado. I bought it because of the price. There are alot of goods and bads about it.
Pros-
-Its nine feet......which will stay afloat through rapids an large waves..
-The amount of storage around the boat...especialy the actual basket in the back...most are just flat.
-Floats high which makes it easier to cast.
-comes with your rod holder
-inexpensive
-has two bladders on each side. most fishcats at the same price have one on each i believe
Now here are the cons..
-Again sits high....now it becomes somewhat of a parachute! blows around a bit.
There are alot of spots to get line stuck around the boat...aka the oar rests.
-is heavy
-bright color is good or bad i guess....
-pockets are not waterproof so don't put expensive things in any of the pockets.
-The anchor system flat out sucks. If you buy it buy another anchor system for it.
But over all i have been happy with the boat. For the price i think it is a great boat. My father uses a 600 dollar fish cat an honestly they both float just fine. the differences in performance to me weren't much. Definitly see it in person before you buy it. One tip is to buy it at sams club i think i only spentaround 200 for it through their site. which at that price is well a steal. price might have changed i bought mine around two years ago though. I use the boat mainly for the green an a few times here an there on the lake.
hope this helps a little bit in your decision either way!
