pyranha burn soft 15 years 11 months ago #26084

ive gave my burn a couple of direct hits on the nose over the past couple of months and to be honest am not impressed with the way the nose has folded each time, like the hits werent that hard and the nose just folded so im askin has anyone out there had the same prob but in fairness the burn with the help of some boiling water goes back into shape easily but folds pretty easy again .im that unimpressed with it im thinkin of selling it and going for a complete different make of boat im lookin for a tough boat recommendations please...............cheers damo

I would go with a Prijon Embudo or Hercules. Their plastic is some of the best, and the designs seem good. I have heard some bad things concerning the design of the Creeker 225, though. Also, check out the Eskimo Salto (2005) or Salto Evolution. I liked the Burn as far as handling, but their plastic didn't seem good, which was the same reason that I didn't go for a WS Diesel. Need to go outfit my Fluid Solo soon, which has been the only downside so far to it.

i have pitoned my old burn on a few occasions w/o folding up the nose. i will add however that Pyranha has had some issues with oil canning etc so I wouldnt be surprised to hear it. I actuaally just sold it to buy a Mega Rocker and life is way good :D

If your suspicious of the boat, id probably sell it and move on... IMO

I've been more than happy with my large Fluid Solo since April 2007. While I'm definitely not a hardcore creeker the boat has taken some punishment and seen many river miles on a lot of low volume stuff. Never had a problem with it... :) Pity about your Burn, I think the design is very good. Demo a Solo, you might like it :laugh:
