Processing:
There are worlds between the construction of Hudson and Tahiti. The double hull of the Hudson offers a high protection against damage. Even the slides on sand or gravel banks has left no traces. We have not yet dared us with Tahiti. Due to the significantly higher internal pressure, the Hudson has a good dimensional stability. This is noticeable both when worn, as well as when driving. If you wear the Tahiti at both ends, it bends by itself. At Hudson, you can still store the equipment in it, because bends with proper internal pressure nothing. On the water, the Tahiti deformed exactly with the waves, the Hudson significantly less. One can also inflated Hudson also transport the car roof, that I would not risk in Tahiti.
Space and comfort:
The Tahiti is a bit bigger, that comes to the occupants benefited noticeably. 3 people, including a child, provide considerable tightness in Hudson - 2 person, it is super. In Tahiti find 3 people enough space. For the storage options are worse at Tahiti. The Verstaunetze on the backrests and on the splash guard missing. The Hudson has "fixed" backrests that Tahiti inflatable backrests. I feel Inflatable than enjoyable.
With regard to the handling characteristics, a comparison is difficult, when attaching the tail fin of the two boats, the difference is slight. Without tailfin makes Tahiti in rough seas what it wants.
Blowing and stowage:
With both boats, the tubes are inflated via screw valves that works both during inflation, as well as when emptying very good. The floor is inflated at Hudson on a mini valve, this is a disaster. The draining of the soil at the Hudson takes longer than all packed up the Tahiti. The control of the internal pressure with the attached measuring instrument Hudson is annoying, but only as an optimum pressure to be set. The Sevytest pressure control in Tahiti is convenient, but looooong inaccurate. At Hudson, we had many problems with the form - if one side was inflated, the outer shell twisted so that the second tube, and the whole construction was crooked. This can be avoided if you repeatedly between the page changes during the inflation of the hoses. The fact that we make the Tahiti precaution also, so no problems with the form.
This fits in the included carrying bag of Hudson works well when the drain all hoses and seats completely and the whole is perfectly rolled. This goes in Tahiti much faster, even with a little residual air can Curled it quickly. The storage in the splash guard is theoretically possible, but we get back just a sausage, which is held together with the lines anyway. The pack size is considerably smaller in Tahiti, a great distributing the holiday luggage. The laborious drying a colleague already well described, that goes in Tahiti faster.
Conclusion:
The Hudson is a good boat and who is traveling on rivers with shallows and small rapids, which should take the higher price for it in purchase. In a normal operation, the shell is not to get broken.
Drivers who want to paddle on a lake or the fly deeper river, is well served by the Tahiti. Above all, the significantly faster construction and dismantling periods and the smaller pack size speak (besides the price) for it.
The rating is not easy. The high evaluation score is the result of comparing the two boats. For pure quality I was assigned 3 points, but the value for money I see for the Tahiti 4 points as appropriate.
