Every time I read one of these threads, my head starts to spin and I start wishing I lived close to Canoecopia. :oops:

My engineer comment is that specs are not standardized so can be misleading. Even waterline width is elusive since some manufacturers...

I like to have at least 9" of clearance for my size 11 (US) feet. You'll need different hangers, but with the specced 11.5" depth you...

Attaching directly to the gunwales should be fine. The hangers would actually lessen the structural integrity as opposed to bolting it...

Been using a DB for 30 years. First a 290 Carlyle heavy weight and I liked it for years. Tried a light 240 on.a 30 day trip and never...
