Glenn if you are ever in Florida look us up. Swear my wife was born with a machete in her hand on the island of Samar Philippines. What she has forgotten about bush craft is more than most will ever know. She could teach you how to use them properly :rolleyes:. It is literally an extension of...

Well the family, dogs, house, and canoe barn made it through. We are lucky just no electricity or cell service.

Everything but the boats and last of the plywood is done. Belive it or not on the backside of a previous hurricane had to leave home to do a rescue while the winds were still gusting to 30 mph. But yes stay put is safest. Waiting on the 11pm update tonight for decision making about leaving...

Trying to figure how to get permission from wife to let a few of the fleet into the house. Do not know if the wood canoe barn/workshop will make it past 150 mph winds. The cement block house should be ok. Going to put two in the garage. Have decided not to take with us If we evacuate. If we do...

Going to find out how this weekend. Mine will be a little bigger though in east central Florida. Like a 120 miles across. Think the trick to it is to go with the wind.

More Bell canoes getting back on the water I see a trend here. A lot of Old Town tandems too. Welcome back to canoes.

After saying that you added another dimension to your fleet with this great find looking at your rack brings up an interesting question. Were is the intended home of the Rapidfire? Ended up building a rolling three high canoe rack that tucks into the wall rack. This is a problem that all fleet...

Mike McCree the project is on hold for a little while need to get a few other things done around here and worked a little overtime. Have not ordered any PC-7 for deck cap repairs yet....G Flex on top PC-7 under? The plastic is wanting to tear. Espicialy were the rivets go through it . Was...

Thank you Bearpaulsen.

Since you are new to a dedicated solo you are starting learning all over again. I am kind of wondering If you are paddling the Yellowstone by muscle memory or habit the same way you did the Old Town Guide 147. The corrective strokes should cause much larger reaction in the Yellowstone than the...

Mine was bought as a cheep experiment. To see if we would like to own a tandem. Untill then we only had solos. Wife loves tandem while I enjoy both tandem and solo. What was supposed to be a temporary inexpensive stop gap has ended up being something that has earned its place in our rack.

Another thread “Effect of scratches on canoe efficiency” has me thinking about my beater canoe. A Mohawk Blazer from 1979 which started its life as a rental. It was canoe #3 or so the number on its side tells me. Scratches? Well lets just say if you get a new one no one can tell. It has been...

Was thinking the same as boatstall. We only encountered about thirty gators last Saturday on blackwater creek here in FL. Now I know why. Some one must be selling them timeshare bank spots in Newyork.:rolleyes: Any way the gators are mostly ok. It is the manatee you have to watch out for.

Went for a test spin this weekend after having reinstalled the seat, carry handles and thwarts. Phase one is done. After a couple weeks of yard work and making some closet furniture for the wife will be trying to get some more done. 10 yards of webbing did two seats with a little left over...

Yes a higher quality shot would be good. Was very busy this weekend so have not had time to reply till now. By the way Bearpaulsen told the president of the company I work for that he should try to match your customer service level. Help with an 17 year old canoe from a former company. I...

The current decal is not worth copying. :o Maybe I can find one on the web some ware. Maybe design my own.

Thank you Rose was very helpful. Starfire decals were not available. Bell and Northstar were. So picked up Bell for the Starfire. Trying to think of what to do for the model name after sanding the hull. Any ideas?

Just do not tell her the motorcycle would have to be sold any way to make room for the canoe collection anyway. ;) We are above capacity at my canoe collection. :( Soon going to have to make the hard decision on what to sell. :mad: Wife saw me looking at a Mad River tandem on Craigslist...

Thinking about sanding the gel-coat on the Starfire rebuild project. Was wondering if any one had a source for Bell logos? ORC still owns Bell canoe even though they are doing nothing with it. Wounder who to contact there.

Bought the only two Wildfires up for sale in Florida in the last four years myself. Not many Bell's down here in FL. Bought four out off the last ten for sale on craigs list myself. So do not need another will keep an eye out for you in my never ending search for a light weight replacement...
