Help!! In Search of 1981 Mad River Explorer Plastic Deck Cap for Kevlar 16'3" Canoe

Those are hard to find, folks who have them and know what they are probably won't part with them. Last year I had a nice Explorer with no caps. I searched the net high and low looking for a pair, ended up making ash decks.

Good Luck.

Thanks Robin. I thought that may be the case.

May your gunwales be dry and your paddles be wet.

There are people who make CF end caps for canoes. PM me if interested.

Talk to the folks at We-No-Nah Canoe. I broke the bow cap on my Royalex Sandpiper last month (on the Buffalo River in Arkansas), stopped there on my way home, and left with a replacement; while not an exact fit it works (and at $15 not terribly expensive).

Thanks Brad. I'll check it out.
