Did he manage to catch the snapper? And are we talking the yummy fish, or the ornery turtle?

I have 2 dedicated solos, a mid-90s kevlar Wenonah Prism and a Northstar Phoenix in IXP layup. Very different boats, both fantastic, both will remind you to keep your head between the gunwales! However, my most often used at this point is a Northstar Polaris that I paddle from a center seat with...

Giving the man the benefit of the doubt, the #1 worst way to store food would be in your tent.

I don’t like adults endangering kids, I’d probably just call the rangers aka FWC. “Dad” needs a reality check.

Good use for it!

Purpleheart would be OK as a very thin lam or accent on the handle, but it’s very dense and heavy stuff. It can also be a bear to work with. I had a piece that I ended up final shaping with a file.

Seems practical 🤣

Congratulations on a gorgeous boat! I went the other way with mine, it has three seats. But I almost always have kids with me.

Gorgeous boat! I ordered mine in IXP, have oyster beds, limestone, and chert around here. I got mine with the foot brace, I can’t kneel for too long. I chose the aluminum brace, the carbon one just seemed to insubstantial. The carbon parts are thin carbon lams over a foam structure.

Nice work! I still want to make my own paddle too.

Part of a collapsed/demoed smoke stack? It’s very thick.

Thank goodness I don’t live that close to the factory!!!

This is exactly the problem with the 4Runner - the factory roof rails begin too far back. I think I am going to gamble that the Tacoma roof / door arrangement is substantially similar and get the small parts to convert my existing Rhino-rack towers to Toyota. I parked next to a friend with a...

I very much hope to correct that this weekend.

I find myself perusing this thread again because the Chevy turned over 150,000 miles and was developing “character”. Traded it in on a new 4Runner. My old Thule bars fit the roof rails; this rack has been on an ‘05 Subaru and as needed on our Sienna(s). But my goodness does it howl.

I believe it completely, as I too am the recipient of such wonderful generosity!

Well, so long as that weren’t turkey sausage in yer skillit.

I need to just bite the bullet and try making one.

I love the idea. It might work for me in my Wenonah Prism, it has pretty narrow gunwales with the tumblehome. I don’t think it would work in my Northstars.

Lovely. How does she like the Greenland paddle in a canoe?
