I was paddling around a lake in Florida and heard a kid say to his dad "Look daddy, a gator can we catch him and eat him ?" still cracks me up.

It's the banana yellow fiberglass model and weighs in at around 75lbs and it is great for paddling around the local lakes and water ways. For an older Mohawk it is in fantastic shape, think it spent most of its life in a storage shed and at $100 it was a steal. Here's a picture of it with the...

I have a Mohawk 17 4 made in 1980 which I day paddle as a solo down here in Florida. Not sure why Mohawk did it, but they built it with an extra thwart right behind the front seat which is in the way when seating backwards to paddle solo. I ended up making a drop in mesh seat that gets my weight...

The wood has been sold,

Here are some better pictures. I took a good look at the wood and two of the planks have an about three foot split or flaw down the middle of one end. You can see it in the new pictures. They are a full 16 feet long but one or two have chips or small cracks in their ends. Still really nice wood...

It is white cedar, been wood working for years and know the difference between the two. I'll climb up into the loft and get some better pictures, just give me a few days to get back up there.

It looks like this thread belongs in the classified section, could it be moved there? thanks [Done - Admin.]

This is my first post to sell on this forum so please bear with me. I'm cleaning out my shop and have some beautiful 1x12 white cedar planks I would like to sell. Dimensions for the wood is 3/4" thick x 11 1/2" wide clear planks about 17 feet long. Some have checks or splits in their ends. There...

I've had to deal with both of them. Up in Maine wearing socks over you pants in August isn't a fashion statement, it's a survival move. Down here in Florida shorts only give the fire ants more space to crawl up and bite. I have to rate fire ants a little worse because they leave a pustule like a...

I guess I could paint my Mohawk green or blue but I've found sometimes it's good to be different so yellow it stays. ;)

I'm only about five miles from Spruce Creek in Port Orange and put in at Cracker Creek park. It's a nice 8 mile round trip paddle down to Strickland Bay if I want to go the entire route. Tomoka State park is only about half an hour north but I haven't tried it yet. Ocala National Forest is over...

Started with red canoes at the canoe camp but currently have a 17 foot yellow banana. Lol

Thanks for letting me join the forum. I'm from Port Orange Florida and currently have a 17 x 36 fiberglass Mohawk Blazer build back in the 80's. She's a beast at 75 lbs but for the price was worth it. I've set her up for solo paddling with a center web seat and a kayak paddle. I'm mainly doing...
