I would like to second comments about the quality of the Raven. I like the boat. It is a fun boat. I am 6 ft, 195 pounds. I occasionally grab the front of the cockpit to aid getting out of the boat. Mine cracked around the front of the cockpit. I received no reply or help from either the distributor or the manufacturer. I repaired the crack with fiberglass and L brackets. Good design but very lightweight.
