In emails with Bill Swift he said we could do a custom boat if needed. I could have test drove the P15 combi but it was wider than the Kee 16 combi so it never left the grassy area. Thanks SF for the Wilderness recommendation. I am not against any boat or brand. Just want to find a better...

The quest for the perfect boat has begun. I know there is no such thing but I am going to try. Drove the 4.5hrs to Rutabaga and arrived with a lot of other folks. I have never been to their shop and thank god the wallet was on lock down. Shannon helped me most of the time as I was pacing...

I didn't include a full pic of the boat that showed the strap just pictures of damage. I have never been on a trip where I needed to portage or carry for any distance so the strap was strange. My first thought when I saw that was "Why would anyone strap themselves into their boat?" My week...

I have had 15 or so boats in my lifetime and this is the worst stem rash I have seen. How could they?

The bow interior is more raised compared to the stern. Gouges vs scraps is how I see it. I am used to working with fiberglass/epoxy so I will do a couple of layers for skid plates. This boat will be dragged very little by me so the fiberglass will be fine. I do have some old (10years?) US...

Always looking for boats and this Mohawk popped up 30min from home. It has been well used but there is still plenty of life left in it. It has foot braces installed and a strap with plastic click buckle right where one thighs would be. That is strange to me. I figured for $500 why not...

Keep us posted. I am interested in that boat and the layup. No matter how hard I try I am bumping, scraping or banging my canoe around on land and in the water.

I am in the big guy category and feel the pain of looking at all of these nice solo boats knowing I am not going to fit. I am on that loosing weight suggestion that comes up from time to time because I can't get my hip replaced without being smaller. But even after that I am still a big...

Gamma, One of the first boats I bought had some soft spots and Jim offered up his knowledge/epoxy to this complete stranger. One of those never forget life moments. I almost did build my own boat. I had purchased a box of bead/cove cedar strips and how hard can it be? Those got sold too.

Jim, I still paddle but I have been working another job plus my main job for the past 8 years to pay college tuition and to get out of debt. I have only paddled 2 times in last 2 years. My youngest started ISU last year so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel hence the boat search...

Where to start? I see Jim D is here and remember Alan G because he purchased boat/s from me many years ago. Like a lot of my hobbies I go like gang busters only to burn myself out or other things, mainly lack of money or time or lose interest, forces me out. That pattern has repeated...
