Anyone in the CNY area looking to swap paddles? I have a Voyageur bent shaft in great shape that's just too short. The shaft is ovalized, 32 inches including the handle, 50 inches overall. Looking for a straight shaft, wide blade, 54-56 inches. . I can meet within a 50 mile radius of Ithaca...

Selling this Northern Light Solo I picked up a few years ago and brought back to life. I found something a little newer, longer, and leaner. It was kinda rough when I got my hands on it. The previous owner patched a crack in the stern and filled a few gouges and just spray-painted over them...

Almost done with the rough sanding on my fiberglass Northern Light, looking for a decent, inexpensive filler i can source locally for the small gouges and dents before final sanding and repaint.

Going to be painting my fiberglass Northern Lights solo at some point and wanted opinions by people who've done it. I've read that a lot of people don't bother with primer, and this is the direction im leaning. The original paint color is burgundy, and after I sand the patches down I'm going...

Anyone have experience with this paint? I read in a review that this is what Dave Curtis recommends for DIY painting fiberglass hulls. I would have gone with Interlux Briteside, as it seems to be a favorite on this site, but it doesnt come in the color i need. I want to stick with the...

Old Town Nothern Light solo. It's pretty rough around the edges but it should clean up nice. Gotta sand down the patches, sand, recane, and raise the seat and replace the thwarts, then slap some new paint on it and I got me another tripper. 15ft 4in, and 52lbs, she's not light but I needed a...

I recently noticed a hairline split in my forward fliat tank and was wondering the best way to repair. Should I sand and glass it or will a two part epoxy like partite do the trick? The split is only about 3 inches, and I only noticed it when I was cleaning it, saw water creeping out. Any help...

Gonna do the 7 Carries in St. Regis, I want to take it easy on her so she will come back here in the fall with me for a foliage tour. Two nights max followed by a night in a local hotel. Also the first time taking the new to me OT Penobscot 16rx on a trip. I don't think its too ambitious, and...

Just saw this on CL, seems it might give somebody on here a fun winter of tinkering. My wife would kill me...

I was about to spring for a clamp-on portage yoke from Oak Orchard, then got hold of an old Mad River yoke from a friend so I'm gonna give it a go and make my own. Anybody got any simple plans or ideas? Its gonna carry my Curtis Blue Gill.

Never heard of them before but one has caught my eye on Craigslist. Not a ton of info on the web either. Their website only lists one model but did they used to have more? I've been looking for something to trip for 5-7 days with in a the Adirondacks but won't be timid on a river(nothing over...

Specifically the royalex layup. Wenonah lists it as a day tripper and good for an overnight with a light to moderate load. I'm looking for a tandem for weekend tripping in the Adirondacks with the wife and +/-100 lbs of gear. Any thoughts?

Heading out to look at it later this week because I love projects and really can't help myself but I cant figure out whichow model it is. Seller isn't much help either, just that its 16ft. Could it be an early 90's Sundowner? Worth the ride? It's only fair to say, this would possibly be...

Hi all, Can anybody recommend a good site for maps of the Essex Chain of lakes in The Adirondacks? I'm starting to plan now for mid-May for a 3-4 day solo trip and was wond r ring what others have used. Thanks!

Hi all, I just wanted to gather some opinions on what you think the best solo canoe is for under $1000. I always keep my eye on craigslist for an Old Town Pack, but aside from that there is still the Discovery 119 kicking around online. Is there any difference between the Discovery 119 and...

Hi all, what do you use to protect your single burner Coleman stove? I have a Coleman Sportster duel fuel that I have been keeping in a coffee can, but the lid is just about spent. Anyone got some good, waterproof ideas? Share them!

Hi all, I purchased a bunch of pad eyes from Amazon to rig my Discovery 158 fore and aft with float bags. The set came with rivets, so I would need to go out and buy a riveter, which is not an issue. My question is what do you guys and gals recommend, rivets or screws?

Anybody have any input? Both of these are right around my price range for a pair and I was wondering if anyone would like to throw their opinions out there. I've gotten a good look at the Loon at Gander Mountain and like the ovalized shaft and big palm handle, but have only seen the Glide on...

Hello, the name is Josh and the wife and I just got an Old Town Discovery 158 after a decade of kayaking. I am former active duty Navy and current reservist, and navigation was my specialty(quartermaster). Got out on the Buffalo River on Sat and we'll be hitting Red House Lake in Allegheny on...
