Which I might add, when sitting in the drivers seat is just starring at me-uuggh

Well, I’ve got the golden yellow for sure but someone before me did some awful patching and tried Loosely to match what I don’t know, but the patch went down the side and on to the bottom- and it’s a god awful yellow!

Alrighty then, this may be a tad strange and off the wall but I need to repaint the interior of my Kevlar courier. Yeah I know that I can use color that I want- but what’s the fun in that. And besides, the colors that the bottom “diamond” and sides are- are pleasant! So before I spend countless...

Well - I started with cheap cigars back on college (late 60s) cause they were just that- cheap! But over the years the one thing that I learned was that better cigars -and I mean that not all “better “cigars are good but the majority are! And after all life is short as they say…But these days I...

Hey, thanks for the measurements. I am just finishing up with the gunnels and decks. Anyways, here are two pictures of my project. I won’t show the hull cause that’s a project all by itself! Wish me luck…

Halpc, my is a ‘90 model- no where near pristin! But definitely a project canoe. So that being said, with no gunnels to check locations of thwarts or seat I’m sort of using my royalex courier for locations- which also I had to wing that as well. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you...

Thanks for the tip! I will go fishing thru my pex supply, I should have a couple caps somewhere

I am redoing a Mad River Courier- Kevlar and need replacement grommets for the front and back grab loops. I don’t seem to see them or just not sure what to get or where. Would appreciate any input anybody might have. The canoe has 2 of the 4 semi intact and looks like 1/2” or possibly9/16” holes...

What? To be honest - she knows that there are canoes laying about- has no interest in even sitting in it on dry land. She likes it when I go though cause the house is hers- go more!

I have a Courier ( supposedly) that has no ID that I can find and seems to be about the same specs as the MR explorer 15 - both royalex. Anyone have any ideas on the differences? I think at some time the end caps were replaced and possibly the vinyl gunnels as well. At best, I just would like...

Thanks for your responses, I’ll go with the slipper. Now- I am thinking that the slipper is probably meant for a smaller paddler, but I am 6’ and give or take 195 lbs depending on the day- Is that too much for one? I drive a Guide that’s roughly the same with no problems, but would love...

Unfortunately, this ad was from who knows and no other pics available, so no HIN coming. Thanks for your reply!

Perhaps a Liberty, but they are 14-8

I saw this old ad for this canoe and am wondering if anyone know what model it might be. The 14’-6” makes me think it’s a Guide but I thought that Kevlar models were longer- plus it seems narrower. Any ideas cause I like it! Thanks

As far as I know, the seat and thwarts were original. At least they seem like it when I got it- but then no telling how many had it before me! I just made new cherry thwarts and a new seat and pulled it in to 30” and now have they itch to go more. I do share your desire to try different widths...
