Green River from the upper put in at Flaming Geyser Park to the Whitney Bridge about a river mile below the park. Beginner classes used to run it multiple times, hence the name...

Yo-yo stretch? C'mon now...I was actually in the CR 125, which I happen to be fond of for a playboat for a dude my size (6 foot won, 200 hundred elbows). Justin might be a bit bigger than I, and thus may be a bit too big for the 125.

I would guess the 250 to be a fun river-runner, but not as much for play. That said, it would probably surf/spin fine, just a bit hard to throw down. Maybe not for a dude Justin's size though?

The 125 was great everywhere I took it (Pair of Dice, Big Wenatchee, MM etc), except for when I took it to Skook...ummmm...chuck? Something about that design didn't work as well on a big green grinder.

Depending on what you're looking for, and what kind of deal you're looking at, this CR series is good.

Thanks for the input Shertzl, I'm looking for a playboat since I sold my S6F. I just figured it would be easier to find one of those than a 420, and I am within the specs on the website.

Ah...the 420. Now there's a playboat. I love that thing. I haven't tried many modern playboats lately, but at the time, that was/is my favorite.

It's kind of a bummer that the only used M/L 420 I could find that is for sale is in Medford Oregon. The search goes on.

you should buy it so you can have an excuse to schedule a few runs in OR.

The McKenzie should be kickin ass pretty soon and it is right off the five
