Title: Now looking at Scadden Outlaw X5

Pretty capable watercraft in a lot of settings, but of course suffering the wind vulnerabilities that all the inflatables share.
Still, with the little Suzuki 2.5 four-stroke, it is analogous to a "water Jeep."

Went to the Northwest Flytyer Expo in Albany yesterday specifically to look at Scadden boats. Ended up buying the larger Outlaw Avenger X for a show price of $1500 shipped. It's a lot of boat. Gonna be a long two-week wait for that box to arrive!
Seems to me our kayak vendors were missing a bet by not being at this show. Only boats there were Koffler, Clackacraft and Scadden, and there sure was a lot of interest in the inflatables. I think a well-set-up fishing kayak would have drawn a lot of traffic.
