Two years ago I sent a straight wooden (sassafras) paddle to Idaho and it was around $70 through UPS. I just thought UPS would be better than USPS but maybe that was a mistake now looking at these prices upthread. Jim

Nice job on the repair. Do you have all the guideboat hardware for the oars? The oars are not guideboat oars but if you have the rest of the oar lock set (4 sockets and 2 oar brackets for lack of a better term) that hardware alone is worth about $500 last I checked. That and proper oars if you...

It’s interesting, I’ve only ever used ‘attach files’ but for the first time last week or so a couple pics were sideways. It was my new way of tying the front of the boat to the hood loops. I guess I’ll be using that image icon now. Jim

At least you checked Gamma, some people don’t even think to check. I go by the 1-10-100 rule when I’ve got something on the roof or tied to a trailer. I stop after a mile or so and check the load, then ten miles for another check then everything gets checked every time I stop for whatever...
