I'm happy you've had a very different experience. I'm guessing you're nowhere as top heavy in that boat as I am.

I’ll have to get a photo next time it’s out. My edscanoe invoice describes the seat in my Pack currently as “Old Town Style oldtostrese 1 51.00 Wood type = Ash Webbed Old Town Replacement Seats Style Contour”. I might add a lowering kit to this setup, as it’s done nicely for me to lower the...

I will give it some more time, sure. It does get up to speed better than any boats I've owned before, save maybe the Wenonah Advantage (I don't know which of the two would be faster but they are in the same ballpark). Getting out was really precarious compared to what I'm used to. I didn't fall...

I've only ever had one other canoe dump me like that, the Wenonah Advantage (which has a higher seat, and I believe it is even narrower). This might become my wife's boat and I might just give up and stick to the barges.

That's my old man in my Old Town Pack. He stayed dry. Getting in & out of this is definitely way more challenging so far than what I'm used to with the plastic barges. Even once I'm in it, I've constantly got the sensation that if I reach behind me for something or lean a little one way or the...

There may be a learning curve...

I HAVE A RAPIDFIRE!!!!!! And it's only Tuesday. I might have to *cough* take a sick day before the weekend.

It's just waiting now for enough canoes to fill the truck for a run south. Must... not... jones...

Almost here!

I’m sure it’s not done yet. I’d only ordered it earlier this week, and the ETA was “before the end of the month”. I’d be all about an orange tinted boat but don’t really want a gel coat weighing it down and hiding that gorgeous carbon fiber.

He had me look at the new purple ones but I wasn’t going to be fooled. Ha! Yeah I actually vetted this purchase with my CFO first. But I‘m selling off the rest of my fleet to pay for this one. I’m selling the motorcycle, too, in anticipation of liking this one so much that I get another for...

I just got off the phone with Joe @ PBW. Another Rapidfire will be brought into this world. In green, because as we all know those are the fastest.

I’ve tried convincing the CFO to just get two RapidFires and be done with it but she’s not buying my line. I have to move a little more inventory out of my shed and then I’ll be putting in my order.

This boat is now SOLD.
