We have 2 I:3's in our family. I (165 lbs) have a 222 and my wife (130 lbs) has a 221. I can't imagine a better boat for getting down a challenging river with confidence and having a lot of fun along the way. I have used it on big-water and on technical class 4. The boat is fast, insanely easy to drive and still performs well enough to be fun.

The I:3 is NOT a play-boat though. It front-surfs well and I can get the stern down easily but the bow has a LOT of volume. I have yet to pearl this boat on any wave.

The boat does what it was designed to do VERY well. If you are looking for a river-runner for up to easy class 5 then this would be a good choice.
