I really like the looks of this NRS and they are awesome boats. I had an Escalade designed by Dave Scadden: http://www.flyfishingconnection.com/.../escalade.html Used a paddle like a kayak. I didn't care for it. Very similar now is the Outcast Commander as mentioned: http://www.outcastboats.com/outcast/....aspx?series=6 (but Dave was a designer for Outcast)

I now own the Assault XX and love it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43h6v_sJiD0 Yes you can stand on it. And so well balanced even with the front seat. I stand in the middle and lift. Very light and packs up super small. I drive a small SUV and it fits easy with a motor and battery and all my gear.
