I have owned my Discovery 164 since 2001. I have paddled most rivers in New England, as well as the Wisconsin & Mississippi. I am a scout leader, so it has been used/abused by my Scouts for years. It lives outside on a trailer year round. The only replacement was the cane seats after 5 years, I used web seats this time & they are still fine. The boat is stable loaded as well as empty, solo. I have taken it on week long trips in the North Maine Woods several times. I also often fish in it. It is better loaded than empty. White water, up to class 2+ is great. I have several other boats, but this is my favorite by far. I would recommend this boat to anyone, novice to instructor.
