I'm wondering how much stiffer the '06 Redfish turns out to be vs. the '05 model. Does the new plastic they're using make that much of a difference with hull flex? Anyone had a chance to paddle both of these boats? I have a T120 and don't feel any problems with flex, though the T160 (old style) I had flexed so much in a short chop I couldn't stand it. Will the Redfish feel more like the T120 or the T160?

We have both models at the shop and I think the reason why they added the extra material was more about hulls deforming while out in the sun for long periods rather then hull flex.

I have the 05 redfish. My fishing buddy has the tarpon 120. His is noticeably more stable on the roof rack (due to heat). I hve had to switch tto a yakima hull raiser (the one that looks like a lettter J) so I don't deform the hull in the sun. The plus side is that the redfish drafts much less water and is faster.

The new G2 material on the o6 marquesa/redfish makes the boat feel much more rigid and solid. Very little flex. The main purpose - according to the vp of sales David H. Is that you can now stand in it with no flex at all. I will attest that I get virtually no flex at all - I'm around 200#. another improvement include the seat.

Yes we can put a rudder on it. That's unchanged from the 05.
