I took my Gomboy with us on an Allagash run this year. My son broke a 1/3 of it off. I've never broken a Friskar Saw

Just another option. I like a ridged blade, it's one less thing that can go wrong

I was thinking more like this one

I've seen a picture like this somewhere

Nope. They got snakes bigger than the canoes

Teach them young, Good score

I bought a 17' Coleman Ram for my son that I named "Big and Ugly" It's a great boat when the Allagash is low.

I found this on another site and wondered if anyone named their boats. I have not.
