I posted this up on the Gear Swap here and on packrafting.org but I wanted to post it here as well so more packrafters would actually see it. feel free to discuss or ask questions related to the issues I mention.
a couple of years ago I sold an older fjord explorer and later on bought a newer one with the stern “ducktail” or “big butt”. For my use (primarily lake fishing using the oar frame and trolling) I have determined that the older style boat works better for me. I pull to row with the line trailing and the rod resting on my pack on the upturned bow. Theoretically, I can reverse my sitting position since the row frame is centered but the “tail” creates a different space for my legs and gear as well as relocates the skeg underneath me while rowing and negates its purpose.
With all that said, I am wanting to trade a red “Big butt”/”ducktail” fjord explorer for a non “ducktail” fjord explorer. The boat is in excellent condition and doesn’t have any extra accouterments that will be included besides the seat and backrest. I do not want to sell the boat. I only want to trade it.
