    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    No Title As you can see, we have limited room for carrying anything. We have a pair of Dicks kayaks, and there's just no way to fit them both on top of the camper. Donny has trouble getting in and out of a kayak because of his disabilities. Plus, because they're cheap, (we live on his...

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    We're talking about this right now, great minds think alike. We could sit facing backwards, but then I'd have to paddle with my legs dangling over the sides! :0)

    I've never used Craigs list, how do I contact them? This one looks a little rough, but I'm sure we could paint it. Thanks Robin!

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    I believe this is the one, guys! The Sportspal S-12. Does anyone have one of these they might let go cheap? "Cosmetically challenged", units are fine. It's 48 pounds, so it's a little heavier than we want, but we should be able to find one cheap, right? I LOVELOVELOVE the birch bark colored one...

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    Oh my, that is a beautiful canoe! Is there anything more quintessentially old school cool than a traditional canoe in green with wood? If I bought one of those, I'd have to also get Donny a pipe, packbasket, and drape him in wool buffalo plaid! So handsome.... ;0)

    I don't think building our own is what we're interested in at this time, but thanks for the suggestion! It's looking like the Sportspal S-12 might be the one. The weight capacity is close, but this will be a day trip canoe for us, with *maybe the occasional overnight. It's light at 48 lbs...

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    Oh, that makes sense! How would you get a stem like that off a mold. Good point! So, to get the shape we desire, that means aluminum, right? Cause those are made in two halves. Where's my light bulb emoji! :0) B

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    Oh hi, Robin! Yes, we're in Plattsburgh. We have a couple plastic Dick's Sporting Goods kayaks that our son got us, but as you pros know, they're not ideal. Yes, they allow for us to go side by side, but Donny has problems with his knees, (old war wounds), so getting wedged into a kayak is...

    Canoe advice for a disabled vet.

    Hi everybody! I'm Barbara from upstate NY. My husband Donny is a disabled vet. We travel around the Adirondacks and Green Mountains across the lake in Vermont on an old motorcycle and sidecar. We recently sold a truck to fix the roof and pay some medical bills. We had enough left over to buy a...
