Try the Dagger Kingpin, stable, easy to roll, comfy and nicely priced.

I got my G-force for £410(UK) brand new, my advice, make good friends with your local shop owner demo a load of boats, (as the outfitting in a g-force is rubbish) make sure the one you buy is not too big(Volume wise),

good hunting

The gforce is a great boat and the outfitting works well everyone used to get on without ratchets for many years! IF YOU want the fancy bits be prepared to pay the £300-£400 for the shiny new models with the posher outfittings.

you can get a really good fit if you spend 20 40 mins to adjust everything and glue in the foam footrest etc all squirt boaters get a good tight fit this way without ratchets so get a gforce play around with the fitting get the trim right for you hen glue it all in you will have a very fun boat to paddle or try the ll scooter bigwheel

liquid logic scooter is great boat and you can get them pretty cheap second hand i got mine off a bloke the sam size as me (almost exactly) so i didnt even have to reshape the hip pads plus the foot bag rocks.

ive never tried a gforce so i cant speak from persoanl experience but the design seems a bit outdated, although if your looing for cheap theres not much you can do. Id also recomand the liquidloic scooter, great boat, comfortable easy to flatwater. i have a freidn who struggled for hours to geton a wave in a kingping, hopped in a scooter, and got it first try, said the scoter just glided on instead of him having to fight for it all the way.

I paddled a G-Force for years, and it's good but a bit outdated. As most people stated, this boat is slow. Really slow. It's good on holes but just too slow for waves. The other issue it had was a lack of volume in the stern, it bobs a lot while cartwheeling because of this lack of volume, and you'll ocasionally flush while cartwheeling in a hole because you sink so deep on your stern. It's a decent predictable river runner for a playboat. Outfitting can be worked with, and if it's cheap then go for one, I wouldn't spend more than $300 US on a G-Foce.
