I had a fella offer me full price on one condition: That I buy it back in the Fall if he does not become accustomed to the Zephyr, for $100 less (assuming the condition has not changed). I've always believed it takes more than a test paddle to get acquainted with a boat, so I accepted. I also...

Sent you a text.

Not on Craigslist. That's a Blackhawk Shadow.

I have tried a couple of times to rehome this boat, but was inundated with low-ball offers and scammers on Craigs List and FB Marketplace. This is a fiberglass build in really nice shape for a 1994. It has been compared by some as like a Ladybug or a Wildfire, not sure I agree, but it is a joy...

Don't worry, I promise, it will never happen again.

I just sold my year-old Trillium at $1000 less than I paid for it, and glad for it. It was hard to overlook some of the manufacturing defects that are inherent to the brand. I know many of you folks aren't Facebook fans, but there is a Bell/Northstar group in which there have been many quality...

I've never used it, it came with a canoe I bought, so not much help. It appears to have mounted with straps, but if it were me, I would use clamps like the ones on a removable yoke.

2019 was a very good event, got to spend time jawing with Dave Yost and Richard Lockwood there to support Colden canoes. I thought it was great that a company like Northstar would take the time to send a small crew and a huge trailer full of solos to support the event, but post pandemic I'm...

Not a Freestyle guy, sorry, but if you are interested, I don't live far from Mark Ornstein and if you reach out to him and see if he will bring it up there I can drop it off with him.

No, they are distributors with a wide variety of boats, not just solos. But you can at least try the boats out as they are on the water. WPSCA is all about solos

Genuine Old Town Fiberglass Rowing Seat, moves pivot point farther out from gunnels. Converts standard canoe (28 to 36 inch width) to a rower, oars not included, straps are missing. The ad is from a 1988 catalogue. Can't ship the thing, but if anyone has an interest maybe we can do handoffs...

There are many, Mountainman in Old Forge NY, Blue Mountain Outfitters in Harrisburg PA, to name a few.

Thanks for taking the time to read it. I've had a copy for years and have made the case against 303 many times in other forums, but fear the allure of a nice shiny hull and a boat builder's recommendation trumps science every time.

I wish builder participation would pick up again. Last time I was there was 2019. 2022: Hemlock, Savage River and Stewart River 2021: Hemlock, Savage River and Stewart River 2020: Canceled 2019: Hemlock, Colden, Savage River, Stewart River, Northstar 2018: Slipstream, Savage River, Hemlock...

2022 Northstar Trillium Solo Canoe, Starlight with aluminum gunnels, kneeling drops. Always wet-foot entry and exit so no scratches on the hull.

Glenn makes a good point; without something to maintain your butt in a fixed position on a standard hung seat, your knees will eventually straighten no matter where you place the bar, as you slide rearward. Canting the seat for kneeling sometimes helps. Got this backband from McCrea a few years...

I have installed many a Wenonah footbar and can relate. My inseam is 28 inches and the tendency is to mount in a location that provides some adjustment for oneself. It would be fine if you could guarantee that the boat would never be sold or paddled by anyone else. I usually mount so that I...

Well, it's mostly water, which is why it tends to disperse and leave a little slick behind the boat. Some of the minor ingredients are 'proprietary' but the MSDS sheet does list some environmental issues. I had a bit of a discussion with the folks at Hornbeck a while back who on the one hand...

They've never been too free with their phone number, but the email address is on the website. On my invoice from 2021 there is 315-244-4037, if you want to try that. There is a lot of rocker on the GRB Rambler, but did not appear to be any on the Classic XL hanging in their barn. Wouldn't be...

That is an awesome find!
