Hi Snapper - which layup is it? Any other info like you can provide, like ash vs cherry gunnels?

That sort of section at the front is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks! And agreed re wilderness, I was just trying to separate out the whitewater runs a person might do in a "white-water-only" boat with thighstraps and entitely filled with float bags from the runs one might do with a load...

Thanks, Benson and DJ. I do like the Quiet Water series. I'll have to look for copies of the Kellogg series.

Very much an issue for me as well. I blame the furry moving ballast for not being well-practiced at carving heeled turns.

Apologies if I missed an existing thread, but I'm interested in a guidebook for paddling trips/destinations in Maine, both flat and moving water (wilderness tripping more than whitewater playboating, though). Any recommendations? I know the hive-mind here has a trove of info, which I deeply...

I'm in the field daily for about a month in the spring and a day here or there after that. I wouldn't mind a bit more, but I always thought about 40% would be a good balance. I used to think spreading it out would be better - get more variety of seasons and phenology - but it is nice to get in...

Looks fantastic. I'm very excited to be signed up for the Zoar 2-day ww rescue clinic in August. I've never been to the Deerfield, so I'm looking forward to seeing the river as well as getting some training. I've been looking to push my poling skills in spring flows but don't have as much ww...

I think @NoelCanoeDad had some Starfires at the W PA Rendezvous?

I do wish the Phoenix was a little more efficient on the flats....

What are your respective uses for those 3? Down-river runs vs freestyle? And/or? I'm curious as a Phoenix owner with very little experience in the others.

How do you think the Phoenix stacks up against the Dragonflies and Wildfire?

NOT MY LISTING. If it floats as advertised, $150 seems like a good price for a royalex boat if someone wants a beater for rocky rivers or newbies friends. I'd consider it myself as a poling boat if I were closer. Located in Bennington, VT...

Late to the thread here but I was enjoying the event in person too much to be checking the forum. Bruce, Anita and Becky who put on the event do a stellar job - there's nothing like it. There might be other demo days by outfitters but the history present at WPASCR is unmatched. Great boats...

Sold!

I'm selling a lovely Old Town Penobscot with wood gunnels and brass end-caps and screws. The boat has a third seat installed either for solo use or for a kid between two adults. It's a 1999 according to the HIN, in very good shape considering its age, but it has been used some (though not...
