Glenn, that's one very slick V1-B. I especially like the fabric wrap and the backup paddle holder. Hypothetically speaking, I wasn't already in the doghosue for the purchase of a Sea Wind, just how much would it cost me to take that Huki off your hands? Thanks for the kayak double-blade...

Tomo, it's wonderful how canoes seem to really connect us to fond memories of the adventures past. I loved the story of your Honeymoon trip, that's one for the book and I hope you shared it with the new owner. I happily sold my first canoe, a 17' Grumman aluminum tank, for a small profit, but I...

DogBrain, I hope that your friend has made a full recovery and is once again paddling out there on the Yellowstone. Even if it turns out that my Sea Wind tracks as straight as an arrow, with or without the rudder, your friends adventure is one spectacular feat I hope never to repeat. It is...

YellowCanoe, on New Year’s Day 2022, I will finally be able to baptize my Sea Wind, and I hope that it will indeed paddle as you’ve said, beautifully. It does take a bit of mental focus for me to spare my knuckles when paddling with the double bend, and I have to admit that I can maintain a much...

Glenn, I know you’re just trying to make me jealous, but I can only dream of nimbly surfing salty waves with my trusty T-grip paddle in hand and flying the Ama on a sleek OC-1 just for kicks. I actually purchased the Kialoa to accompany a Huki V1-R that I was closing the deal on, but things just...

I certainly hope that someone will continue building Krugers in the same overly rugged fashion that Verlen and Mark built them. Perhaps Scott Smith, as Verlen‘s sole surviving apprentice, will help shepherd the rekindling of that incredible craftsmanship. The Kialoa paddle was not part of the...

My apologies for the delay, but its been rainy here and my work schedule keeps me away till after dark. These are not the greatest images but hopefully they at least give you a sense my canoe. It's a 2015-2016 esq Sea Wind built by the late Mark Przedwojewski. As the images show, I am also way...

I extend my most heartfelt thanks to the kindred souls on CanoeTripping.net, like yelowcanoe, coldfeet and mmccrea, who likely still grow misty eyed when their paddles run dry, but more importantly, who took the time to encourage my dream of owning a Kruger Sea Wind. Well, yesterday a favorable...

Mmccrea, there are indeed all types out there, from the unwitting to the unscrupulous, but in the final analysis I agree with you that personal integrity dwarfs them all.

I love your moniker, "Cold Feet", it describes perfectly how I feel when I paddle this time of year. I am thrilled to death to know that there are great deals out there like the Monarch you happened upon, and I couldn't agree more about having the right man-toys for the season and environs in...

As long as your chains saw is reserved for felling trees and the occassional Jason Voorhees re-enactment, we'll call it all good.

I would certainly not sneeze at an opportunity to pickup a Monarch, but as you've said, those opportunities vanish as quickly as they first appear. I have an incredible knack for being just about one reply too late when those deals surface. I have however happened upon a deal or two for lesser...

Mason, Thanks for finding and sharing that video. Such a wealth of creative outfitting. My Voyager will never be the same after watching that. Makes me wish that I had ordered mine without the bow and stern ballast tanks since I'd love to cut my hull down several inches, but the tanks severely...

I couldn't agree more, it's a terrible day when a fleet of canoes which have been carefully collected, paddled and maintained over a lifetime, are suddenly thrust onto the market place with not respect or appreciation for what they are, or for the untapped adventures which still rumble within...

YellowCanoe, I have never wished a fellow paddler anything but a safe journey and a long, happy life, and I'm not going to change that now, so I thank you for that future opportunity and and would like to reciprocate. When I have dipped my paddle for the last time, and sunrise no longer finds me...

Glenn, many Thanks kind sir. Hopefully my location update is displayed. I will travel anywhere in the continental US to pickup the right canoe if the opportunity presents itself.

I'm in the market for an expedition-ready decked canoe. If you have any of the following boats for sale or have a lead on someone who might, I would be most appreciative; Super Expedition Canoe, Kruger DreamCatcher or Kruger Seawind.
