I’m about 240, and normally have 2 kids (up to 94-lb @ depending on which of the 4 go), a bucket with mushroom anchor, plus a cooler and a dry bag @ for lunch and personal junk. We could easily take more, I wouldn’t hesitate to load up camping gear for the 3 of us. I also paddle it solo with...

Dang mem, at least save the shaft for a fire poker!!!! It still is even if the target doesn’t get it. My dad would call people “gaping herders” in traffic. I call ‘em the mongrel hordes. Seems like all the bad drivers from NJ were exported to Florida! Dad was one of the fair to middlin’ ones.

Interesting idea. Supports fixed to the hull and downward pointing dowels/pins to engage matching holes in the supports.

Joe, thanks for sharing that. I’m sorry about the loss of the boat, that really stings… I’m very glad you made it out of that situation.

I’m really coming to love that cream color, whether it’s on a canoe or a Fender tele/strat/bass.

Oh no, what happened?

Glad it’s going the other way!!

That’s one way of getting out of their lifetime warranty. If the replacements are poor, no one will trade in their worn out hats.

I guess I didn’t think about it when you posted the paddle family portrait, but the ottertail is the same length as the beaver with smaller surface area overall; so it should be expected that it would move the boat less/ move less water. My ottertail blades are half again as long as my...

It’s better than I feared, but I might well have doubled it!

Looks great, but what is this “a little garlic”?!? You measure garlic with your heart!!

I drove FL-> MI for my Polaris, but I have family in MI so it was dual purpose. I’d love to make a long paddlin’ road trip out of a canoe purchase, but dance competition season just concluded in June and we just got back from my sister’s wedding in MI last week, so are licking our financial...

Better out than in, I always say…

I’ll buy it if you deliver it!

Traditional archery is the same. Honestly it seems anything that takes effort and/or skill is fading. It’s easy to sit at home and virtue signal about social issues, but to protect things of enduring beauty and relevance takes actual work. How often do the screeching harpies go pull tires and...

I guess if I weren’t sure what I wanted or where I’d use contact cement. G-flex seems to be a go-to solution for more permanent outfitting.

If you’re lucky, you just lost it! 🤞

Mmm might have worked. Ah well, someone got a nice one.

Oh man that’s a looker. Tell me it wasn’t 62/63 or so…

Down in S FL they have something called “cats claw”. A nasty piece of work, large durable shrubs with 3/4”-1” long recurved spines. You can’t push through it, and tugging just buries the spines deeper. It’s a hack and burn situation.
