Best boat around?

Which one is the best Nelo, Plastex or Hody?


This is a complicated question, and the answer depends on what boat you're looking at and your own personal paddling style. In most people's opinions, Nelo's C1 is now a superior boat, winning 5 of 6 medals at the Olympics. Gab and Andrew however have had difficulty in mastering it's awesomeness, but we'll give them some time. Plastex C2's have been the cat's meow for a long while now, and they still produce a good quality product from time to time, but it looks like Nelo is making a charge there as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have a superior product within a couple years.
One thing I think we all can agree on is that Nelo is by far the best boat company over all. They consistently make a better quality boat, with any paint job you want, and their customer service is awesome.
As for Hody, well Gab, Aruss and Mark all used them as Juveniles, and so have a special soft spot for them, but we haven't really seen them on the market too much these days.
