Gorgeous boat.. its really nice to see the basalt material and color in detail video.. im contemplating basalt or a sapphire with the tech package 🤔

Go the Basalt Innegra! I got a Kee 15 pack with this lay-up, and it’s incredibly light (went with the epoxy also), though I do wish I went with the carbon package, not so much for weight saving but for the aesthetic and maintenance. Either way you win!

@@BrettWae I was going to get Expedition Kevlar, but dropped down to Kevlar Fusion with the epoxy. If you speak with Swift about that option they will help with your decision. My boat is as light af and apparently very tough with it.

I have a 13.8 can I add a skid plate on my own or does it need to brought to the factory. Tia
@SwiftCanoeKayak8 сағат бұрын
We can do it at our factory, or you can order kits and have them shipped, although you do have to be a little handy. It involves sanding, mixing resin/hardener, applying and drying etc. You can check out the skid plate installation steps here- swiftcanoe.com/resources/

I would order the exact same boat only with the backed chair instead of the flat seat. I'm in the UK and love watching all the KZfaqrs exploring the Parks. I'm considering moving to Canada to have this as my hobby, have to find work, place to live and everything else involved. See you soon!

I love my Cruiser 15.8! This particular one is stunning, a very nice build. This buyer has experience in the 14.8 so he knows what's up, but for anyone else reading the comments - these Cruiser models just fly on top of that water! You don't have to expend a ton of energy to get places, and this in turn allows you to enjoy all of your trips that much more. I could go on and on about this model, I highly recommend the 15.8!

Hello Bill, the good people at Swift built me a Saranac 15 Carbon Fusion last fall. It has the Boreal deck finsh with a clear carbon hull. It is absolutely stunning and I am the proud recipient of many complements on the beautiful color combo and beautiful finnish. I end up having quite a few conversations with interested paddelers. You and I are similar in size and I find it to be a extremely comfortable boat. There is gobs of room to accommodate my size 13 feet. I have had four back surgeries and really appreciate the seat backs ability to stay conformed to my back as my upper body rotates. It provides just enough support while still providing freedom of motion. Loving my Swift. It makes me feel very connected and one with the boat . Great job!
