Been tied up at the fire station so been gone. I got one seat dropped sing eds seat hangers, put in a handle yoke, and a portage thwart. Had to order a new seat from eds canoe, be here Friday and will drop it in on hangers more toward center than the bow seat was before, about 9" dropped back...

Yeah wear mine, while most of the drownings I have been on rescue for have been due to rips in the ocean I been to a few where a capsized boat lost folks that didn't have on jackets. A survivor once was saved by a cushion, by chance, by the time we reached him he was going hypothermic and almost...

More pics the is cool!

Got my hangers and all, I moved the bow seat back towards center, actually it is the third seat removed as it was long enough to fit. Got a portage thwart going to put back in and two of those carrying thwarts for either end like Steve has. May just put the one in the bow and and not in the...

Very nice, ordered some hangers from Ed's today

Mike awesome pic, where did you get the bow skirt or how did you fabricate it? and the seat in the middle?? any more pics of that rig?

I believe that seat was for solo, and an added seat by the previous owner. I came to the forums asking that same question, I kinda like soloing by just sitting bow facing stern, not so much that third seat? but I am total newby with only a couple camping trips under my belt, and a few days...

OK I appreciate all; the info and ideas, I do need to learn the strokes i.e. technique better and with every trip I am getting better, I say trips they are usually day trips hunting or fishing. Once I get my gear better squared away I plan on some camping in the spring. Just want to have...

Oh yeah, love that pic, Love to watch the dog go. And learning that being able to slip to different locals with a few decoys really extends a day. You can easily slide the canoe into any bush and have a blind any where on the creeks! Good block head on that lab there.

My knees and one elbow have suffered injuries (the equation for what was involved goes (motorcycles+young age*lotsa stupidity=a tore up body) that they do not do well if I am on em long. Kinda the old sayin they will swell and I will be gettin injections! - If Id a known I was gonna live this...

No white water near me! Lazy small creeks. Not tippy unless my lab wanted to stand on the gunwales, just think I can go even more stable even if the knucklehead stands on the gunwales or goes for retrieve. I guess I will leave the third seat at this point, another reason I think (in my vast...

Hi all posted in the intros but again my name is Jason Baker, new to canoeing and the forums. Couple trips but far from a tripper. Still learning the boat and the paddle, kinda used to a tiller or a steering wheel. I have a OT Penobscot 16' and I am planning some tinkering with its layout. It...
