C-King Marauder

Someone is selling a C-King Marauder on UsedVic

I read some good impressions of the C-Kings on this forum (from a long time ago), and the manufacturer claims a comfortable ride. The video at

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O2EDm9z88M

shows a test run in dead calm conditions so is not too convincing. Has anyone ridden in a C-King?

Cheers,
Brad

The claims are a little outlandish. Looks like a well built boat...windows seem a bit small.

The claims are a little outlandish.

Agreed, though most manufacturer claims are. The hull appears to be a Grahame Shannon design

(scroll to just above the bottom) so I thought at least the claims about "under development for over a decade" might be for real. But whether it "works" ??? -b
