Thanks for posting that. It's a tribute to the city of Dayton and clear evidence that Dayton has had generations of quality people hanging out down on the river. Sounds like my kind of place. I hope clubs like that become all the rage again.

Try a pair of Grammici Climbing pats. They come with a zipper, button, and belt. There was a non-zip button also. Not sure about now. Nice cotton twill that sticks to the seat better than synthetics. I have 2 pair that are 8-10 years old. I think Moosejaw has them.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Got all the stickers and residue off without damaging anything. I used a hair dryer to soften up the Royalex sticker and it came right off. it had felt brittle and chipped at the edge prior to heating.

I have a Penobscot 17 in Red Royalex. It's right at 70 lbs which seems light when looking at the big beast. It paddles light with 2 people. I've used it mostly on fast, bony class 1 rivers. It responds well if you lean into it, but plows through anything like a tractor if you aren't comfortable...
