I’m just curious to see if the composite components hold up and the hull is solid. Repairs and maintenance seem to be the same as a regular hull. I’m just wondering if there is anyone out there with some experience with this. Thanks!

"Yah!!!" " I have to say that as cool as the boat looks its performance on the water was stunning. Steady, seaworthy, quick and stunningly quiet. Looks like a racer but performed the role of freighter with competence and grace.

mschi772	09/23/2021 07:16PM   Well, the only thing that's really new on those Polaris Stealths are the carbon seats, thwarts, and yokes. There's always a chance that Northstar didn't get them right, but since Swift has been doing these same pieces in their carbon tech package for quite awhile now with great success, I'd imagine that Northstar has also done them right and will have similar success with them holding-up well.
amhacker22	09/21/2021 12:10PM   Does anyone have any updated experience with a Northstar canoe in the Stealth layup? I’m thinking about changing out my Bell Northwoods. I have a carbon with a gel coat right now and this could be about a 15-20 lbs less if I went with E-6 trim as well. It would certainly make the next couple of decades a whole lot easier. Thanks!
