I never can reach the back tube on a shredder and was surprised that sitting a bit further back and being able to reach it on the paddle cat. I don't think there is a significant difference between the cockpit size on the Paddle Cat and the Culebra, which I thought felt small compared to the old Shredder.

I still like the Culebra, but it is a lot more paddle sensitive than the Paddle Cat. I guess every boat has its strengths and weaknesses.
