Depends on the paint, varnish, desired sheen, and coverage. But, for general fluid weight, spar varnish runs about 7.5 pounds per gallon and enamel paint runs about 11 pounds per gallon. Both will significantly reduce during curing. Enamel paint and varnish both have a wide range of solids by...

Yeah, with rapidly decreasing inventory and regular price adjustments, just keeping the web store open would be a full-time effort. Although, it probably would clear things out in a hurry.

Prices have decreased even further, across all fleet models. I'm having a hard time not making the drive... https://whiterosecanoe.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawHwI9JleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRNwE4mz8nIR5vByAQhc2355Xhy1ZkctoWYg_3jcG2P9bZl54zasE5bBTg_aem_wB0fZvdZjTjXEeykPIBQgA

Right?! I wonder how the DF15 would handle 300-320# loads.

Yup, the older one-piece case. The Beast sun shell is still available and a planned upgrade. I'm a little worried about what I might find in there, but we shall see. She only has forward 1 right now.

'94 G20. Nothing on the inside yet other than cleaning it up. Transmission went out, so waiting on warmer weather to rebuild it.

Did that year GM still use the "gutter" roof to body connection? If so, buy the tallest Yakima gutter mounts (Yakima 1A plus 3 1/2" spacer) and you will be GTG, even with prospector-type shear line. You can buy the Yakima bars as well (I bought the 72"), but it turns out you can use 3/4" black...

Short answer is that carbon fiber is electrically conductive and kevlar is not. Long answer: https://compositeenvisions.com/document/how-well-carbon-fiber-and-other-fibers-shield-radio-waves/#:~:text=Carbon%20fiber%2C%20as%20a%20conductor,composite%20material%20in%20phone%20protection. From...

Bar for me as well. The flexibility in foot position is worth the sacrifice in pack placement restrictions.

That's great, Glenn! I hope you get to put hundreds of miles on it! Lemme know if that SRT ever gets toooo heavy... :cool:

Those are known in the US at SOT (sit on top) kayaks. They are heavy, ungainly, and not much like a canoe at all. Commonly used in liveries and highly upfitted for fishing. They float superbly well, as they are double-layer polyethylene. They paddle like a barge, but hey, paddle the boat you...

My favorite type of canoeing is shoreline paddling or river exploring on my knees with a single blade. If there is frost, tree color, and tea? Heaven. But, sometimes you need to *get* to heaven and the journey includes lake crossings, upstream travel, and/or headwinds. If I need to travel, I...

Nemo Filo for me as well. I also have the king version, which is much thicker but suffers from a bit of that beach ball feeling.

For those who may wrestle with some of the search features: https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/flares-as-bear-deterrence-and-other-uses.96137/#post-96240

As a long time predator hunter and K9 team member, I will not be adding high-pitched medium-duration noises to my deterrence efforts.

Two other forums that I regularly frequent have sub-forums set aside for manufacturers/dealers. It takes nothing away from the main site and adds just a bit of familiarity to the member/vendor relationship. The most popular one charges vendors for posting privileges, but that forum has well...

I would LOVE to hear/see/read not just a trip report (which would be awesome) but an in-depth comparison of those three hulls

I must first say that one man's capable is another's delicate. But note that all of their layups require a full size foam football for rigidity. Swift does not have a layup that uses only a fabric/resin matrix. Some paddlers believe that relying on foam for stiffness unnecessarily compromises...

I just watched their video. Looks like a run at the SRT and company. I hope they bring one to Canoecopia this year. I found it interesting that Bill said he is getting back into whitewater. That could lead to some revision in Swift's layup doctrine.

The new action cams have automatic horizon tracking. When on, the horizon remains... horizontal... (sorry, that was funny in my head) regardless of the sensor's roll angle. https://community.gopro.com/s/article/what-is-horizon-leveling?language=en_US
