Dougd- got a blog link to that particular sleep story? sounds grueling...maybe i can learn from reading more and avoid problems Mike- i got the Plumbers Goop. My idea on trying hot-glue: if i used just a dab here and there i could do a day long sit and paddle test and later remove the seat...

thanks again Mike! Glad you shared your advice publicly on my minicel seat concept post, as it could save some OTHER lurking tinkerer greenhorn from becoming mortally ensnared in his/her capsized canoe-camper during a summer squall lol..but seriously. So indeed i did not consider all those...

all you need is a three person tandem mountain-bike and you are ready when Mars Attacks:)...but seriously, wish we had garage sales like that in Florida, nice find!

Harbor Freight has a $6.99 coupon for a 4 piece "Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat Set"...looks and feels like minicel to me....each set includes four 1/2" thick, 25"X25" interlocking tiles, totaling 17 square feet. i just got two sets with my coupon...Pmail me if you cant source a coupon.

Special thanks to Mike McCrea for advice on carving a seat out of mini-cell foam, but for my needs i cannot permanently glue the seat into my hull because i plan on sleeping on my Vagabond's floor occasionally since there are very few places to camp/bivouack where i live. I sketched these...

Thanks Mike, today i bought some G-Flex for the clear plastic Sawyer tractor seat. its only got two cracks but we'll see how much longer i can make it last...after that i'm going to contact cement a 1/2 mini-cell pad. BTW thanks for all the in-depth upgrade/DIY info, its helping me a lot. ! if i...

http://plebeianyachtclub.blogspot.com/ Please check out the "Classic Sawyer Solo Seat" modification concept that i drew while being overly caffeinated...Design is for use with rudder systems and will retain fore/aft and up/down seat adjustability, keeping the foot braces the same distance from...

thank you for posting, a lot cheaper than buying a cam-cleat at We$t Marine!

Ha! Ill be picking all the broken $400 carbon SUP paddles destroyed by too many Mountain Dew intoxications and whipe-outs (for totally awesome surf-selfies, mount a go-pro to your paddle!) .....then ill just repair them all...epoxy a canoe paddle grip and badda-bing, a featherweight 12degree...

Sweet! i knew id find another use for my scrap strap/webbing collection! ....So after punching the hole, should i also sew them together or is that too redundant?

I've always wanted my own Vag:)....lol. My wife mostly paddles the Sawyer now, but i might install a homemade rudder system for her, as she is petite and the hull is shaped like an MX missile. (no rocker)

Hi all. so couple years ago i found an old beat up Sawyer kevlar solo canoe....i patched it up and discovered what a total pleasure it is to paddle a fast and light canoe! So now i caught the bug and i'm a proud new owner of a Poke Boat Vagabond (kevlar) that i plan on converting into a solo...
