Mr. Clean

i got my mr. clean a month ago i have been paddleling for about 6 months and no boat has been as good as the clean. i am 6ft1 and weigh 222lbs im low down in the water but it handles like a dream easy to get the ends up and a dream to roll i coundnt have bought a nicer boat

I bought my Mr. Clean off ebay about a month ago. I'm 210 lbs and 6' tall and the Mr. clean fits great. My only problem is my size 13 feet that have a slight problem fitting without a bit of pinch. The foam footrests where a god send and allowed me to shave them to add comfort. The thigh braces are comfortable even though i'm an ex-football player with big thighs. The thigh braces aren't ajustable wich is one thing i would change but that would be it. I am a first time WW kayaker and the Mr. Clean allows me to pull off stunts that make my friends jelous. If you are a big paddler 190-215 lbs dont go for the larger version the Ultra Clean you wont need it and because you are at the top of the weight limit for the boat you will be able to throw it around with your weight. You really feel like the boat is riding you and not the other way around. The seat and back rest are A+ and much more comforatable than dagger or wave sport (sorry loyalists) perception seats and back rests are just better. I wouldn't take the Mr. Clean past class 4 though because it is a hybrid of play and creek boat that leans towards play. For really big water your need more displacement or you will get owned by big holes and almost die like me :). Great boat for beginners even though perception says its for inter-advace. The 9 rating is for non adjustable thigh braces and low bow celling for larger feet. But those 2 complaints only apply to larger paddlers.

This boat ROCKS. Being a large paddler(6'1"225#)it fits nice. I spent 3 hours swaping ends and surfing and could still feel my feet. Well worth the money.

I have been paddling for a month now. I recently purchased a Mr. Clean after using one on rivers for 2 weeks. It is a great boat. Even though I have only been paddling a month, I still feel as if I have accomplished everything I dreamed of. I only weigh 140 pounds, and throwing ends is as easy as it could ever be in such a capable, extremely beautiful piece of plastic. I have fallen in love.

I bought a Loon 138 single. I float mostly rivers, specificly, The New and James, in Virginia. There are mostly class II with one class III rapid in the sections I float. I upgraded from a Swiftee to the Loon. I am extremly pleased. The Loon is very stable through the rapids, and very manuverable. I use it as a fishing platform. I love the storage, since I somtimes camp along the river. I do agree that the aft hatch should come with the boat.
