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!
