Fellow Boaters: I just bought a Pyranha S6X 185. Does anyone have any pros or cons on this boat? Any experience with the boat? Where does this boat excel where does it suck? It comes with the wedge that attaches to the bottom, what does this do? ANY information or experiences with this boat will help me out A LOT. Thanks guys. ps. I'm 5'7" 135, intermediate paddler

ive got the 195 and find it's pretty good alround. Its not as playful as other boats on flatwater but it is really good. ive had it about 2 years now and have never had any problems with quality or damage. I have read that the interior isn't as good as the s6 or s6f however like i said, mines held out fine so far.
hope that was some help

ok the s6x,, well, over all it can be a handfull as it was designed as a full on competition boat. what this basicaly means is that you will have to be precise and controled when pushing it as it is not forgiving. this is why its not so gud on flat water, and it may give u a few epics if ur new to small boats.

on moving water its Slllooooowwwwwwwwww, pyranha made this boat a little too square and getting speed on wave is problematic.

on the plus side, its built to last and will loop well when in a hole, but again will take a little more practice to get it to perform than some other boats.

all the extras can be used to alter the boats performance. the VHGP or variable hull geometry plate alters the length of the plaining surface of the hull and creates an area of low pressure under the tail, this will slow u on steep waves/holes so as to allow u to go for moves calmly. the only down side is that u realy dont want it to go any slower.

the power pocket enhancers will drive more water pressure onto the deck of the boat helping u to ends down( this will help on flatt) and will also help bow stalls and loops.

the finns help generate speed and direction, although use of them on a river is very difficult as they rip off. (they were designed for competition only) and the green grabbers on the sides will increase the spin rate while wheeling/spinning.

phew......... hope that all helps
