Just got my new Lynx, and planning some quiet lake fishing trips, but also plan to try this out on the Nolichucky river in some class 2-3 rapids. So.....give it to me straight goose. Can the Lynx handle some light rock bashing, scraping, and sliding? Or will it snap in two and break up if I get into rough waters?

I would not bounce a Lynx on rocks. Rotomolded boats would be far better at that. |

I fish in a lot of skinny water creeks and rivers near East TN. First trip out, I tested the new Lynx on a local lake to learn the controls,what a dream. Then we hit the river yesterday, and happy to report the Lynx did very well. Obviously, with the Lynx the trick is to keep your feet in the "fins tucked up position" , while the rudder magically bounces up and over any big stuff, I found the Lynx did very well in the rapids and caps, using the rudder to navigate was so much fun. I tried to sink this thing, it is unsinkable, big caps and waves just wash over it. I think I might cover the sensitive areas on her underbelly with some of that fancy keel protection hulltape or truck bed rhino liner spray. |
