C-Forum

I keep mine in the hallway.. and its more than 10 feet.

of course, some mornings I wake up and walk right into it, which makes me think its in the way.

update:

he decided he didnt like the way his perception kayak worked, so this is his new setup.



ordered a new seat for the thing, he's working on hatch covers, but those are the original ones.

I forwarded some millbrook info along to my dad, he's checking it all out.. thanks again for the help everyone, I hope to have him back up off his butt (the right way) sometime soon.

If your dad is only looking for a C1, it won'twork. BUt it looks like a great c2 for tripping. The Advert says "Old Town Canoe C2", doesn't give a design name. that is exactly the boat he still has.. his is blue/white, and if I'm not mistaken, he still has the skirts and float bags for his also. I ...

my dad still has a 1974 old town decked canoe (barrigan?) that he's redone the underside of a few times from late 70s/early 80s tennesee whitewater.. he's now in his 60s, and wanted something similar to paddle solo.. his wife is less than half his weight, so any attempt to use the old boat looks lik...

thanks.. I'll check it out

cool.. I'll just steer away from the rocks and save myself a few bones for other gear. the canoe had some pretty deep scuffs (through the color layer, anyhow) in the bow.. was thinking that was a good way to fix/reinforce it- what would be the best way to repair it? I can snap a couple pics of it to...

did these go up in price? I remembered them being a lot more like $60 last year vs. this year's $100 at REI and a few other places.. should I be buying this as a kit anyhow? is it vastly more cost effective to buy the felts somewhere else and source resin? I'm up to my eyeballs in sanding supplies a...

thanks guys.. I'm going to go see how many broken hockey sticks my brother has.

does anyone make thwarts about 27" wide? I need a set for a dagger canoe I'm rebuilding. most of the ones I've found were around 36" wide, making the narrowest part of the thwart just about where I would have to mount it to the gunwale. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a252/insanitizer/rottenthwart...

.....complete with two beer can holders.... the rear of the seat is curved and has a bungee cord attached.. Unless I missed my guess, it was likely adapted to transport a 40oz. of coors light. its like a floating party! eh, they have footrests built in too.. I guess I'll use 'em for a bit, see how ...

cool.. thanks!

I just bought a used dagger dimension recently, the boat hasn't been used for whitewater in years, but was originally outfitted with these seats: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a252/insanitizer/canoe3.jpg they were made by bob foote, have a black watertight box strapped to the front, and the enti...
