well, you didn't tell us what kinda boating you are into. I beleive most of those are excellent creekboats. I tend to prefer anythng with a round hull and some rocker. Flat hulled boats just feel kinda twitchy to me. The roaded ones likethe magnum tend to go through thngs nicely with speed. If you've got the skills it shoudn't really matter what kind of boat you are using, (to a degree of course) all new designs have a lot of thought that goes into them, and they are all great boats.

I would say Riot Magnum and WS Habitat are probably the two best designs of the bunch. They both have long continous bow rocker for effortless handling yet the hull is shaped in fish form to float the bow high and dry even when the seat is moved forward.

I personally paddle a Jefe and it's not bad either. Probably the most robust thing on that list maybe with Salto. Because of the rocker profile and hull shape in most cases you need to move the seat backwards in Jefe to get the boat handle like it should be.

Riot Magnum???

the most versatile creeker on the market that i tried, it boof better than the m3, got speed, accellerate well, keep it line and can turn on a dime if you use the back edge of the boat. the edge can carve you in the eddy but there high out of the water so the boat forgive

Wave Sport Habitat???
never tried it

Dagger Nomad??? good boat but the magnum is better in my opinion

Dagger CFS??? to round it doesn't ferry well

Pyranha Burn??? never tried it

Esquimo Salto??? bomb proof :frustrated: but not enough volume on the stern, so it's rear endering when you don't want it to
