I just bought an SB Gnarwahl and it is a whitewater boat. Best packraft I have paddled by far!

I bought the SB Gnarwahl and just got back from a 10 day trip in southern Utah. The boat is brilliant and such and upgrade from any other packraft I have paddled. It paddles more like a hard boat than any other pack raft I have paddled in that, the effort you put into paddling seems to be much more ...

I just used it on the escalante and loved it. Only problem is I find it a bit long for my liking

I would get a medium which is 7 lb 6 oz. so its a 3 lb difference. My question is performance and overall quality

I have been looking at both of these boats and wondering if anybody has had experience with both/either of these boats. The alpaca is longer and heavier but in terms of performance, which is more fun to paddle. Opinions welcome!
