I upgraded to the Aspire 105 from an Old Town Vapor 10...it's really not fair to even compare these two, so I'll try not to. When shoulder carrying the Aspire, the balance seems a little off, and I'm only griping about that because it's a heavier boat than my previous one.

Overall, this is a really great boat...the seat may be worth the price of admission all by itself. Tracks straight with the skeg down, and I've had no issues thus far when I forget to pull it up and bounce it off of small rocks. I feel there is no such beast as an absolutely perfect boat, which is why it's getting a 9/10. The Aspire is certainly the sweetest little boat I've ever paddled!
