About three months back I was talking with Jim Hagar and he was talking up the Ammo like crazy. At the time I thought that the boat was kinda odd and I was unsure where I would really want to use it. Well as the Spring run-off starts to kick off in BC, the Ammo is maybe the most sought after boat in the quiver. It does so many things well and has made some of our local runs that are not that fun in a playboat or a creek boat ultra fun. This boat has so much to offer!

After spending some time in the Ammo and letting Lise-Anne have at it, I think this is a perfect boat for many applications. Lise-Anne is 5’4″ 120 and the small Ammo performs as a solid creek boat for her. Because it is light and ultra manuverable, she has found it really good even in a bit bigger water. It lacks the speed of the Burn, but stays on top of the water very well. The weight and rocker in the bow makes it a boofing machine.

I can already see a lot of river days where I set the Burn aside for the Ammo. It is going to be a great boat to teach out of and an excellent boat to put newer paddlers into as well. Nice work guys…great design!
