C-Forum

I will be there from July 1st through the 8th. We will be staying at the Smokey Mountain Meadows Campground with a bunch of the CCC group. We have a group of 6 from Oklahoma coming over but I'm the only single-blader in the group. I'll be paddling my 255 H3 but I will also bring along my Aftershock ...

I'm planning to bring the Aftershock with me and leaving it at the Smokey Mountain Meadow Campgrounds in the area with the rest of the boats for sale. We will be staying is a white 34 ft trailer. Our tow vehicle is a 99' Chevy Surburban tan color, Oklahoma plates. Best to find us later in the evenin...

This is a 2000 model. The boat has seen a fair amount of use and has the usual scratches and a few gouges but has lots of years left in it. Lime green. Air bags. No thigh straps, I didn't need them because I fit so snug in the minicell. I can email pictures. The boat is in Muskogee,OK but we will be...

I'm 56 years old. Here in Oklahoma, whitewater mecca of the world, NOT! , not knowing any other C1'ers I learned my C1 technique watching Kent Ford�s C1 Challenge in 2000. I personally look at that video as the C1'er instructional basic Bible. That video was made in 1989, now, in 2006, that video ...

I would like to see your video but can't figure what plug-in is needed to watch. Any hints?

I'm using a Dagger pedestal with a seat height of 6". I have large thighs and they comfortly touch the cockpit rim. I would probably have problems with a higher seat but as it is now it's a perfect fit.

I have been converting quite a few boats over the last several years in search for that "perfect" boat for class 3 to 4 rivers. I think I'm finally there. I've had an Atom, Cascade, Inazone 240, Dagger GTX, LL Gus and now the H3 255. My maiden runs were three trips down the Big South Fork of the Cum...

I'm wanting a river runner/creeker for class 4 technical water which will handle a little heavier water than my Dagger GTX but more responsive than my Cascade. I had narrowed it down to either an H3 or a Fink but the Mamba is really getting my attention. I'm 210# 6'3. Looks like the 8.5 would be the...

At your weight, you should be looking at the 7.5. It will make a difference.

Here are a few links for 7.5's for sale.

I have to agree with Kevin that the GTX is just too big for you. I weight 210lb and paddle a GTX and feel it is great boat, except for stern squirting in class 3+ and class 4 holes.
You need to demo a GT, I think you would like it a lot better.

Anyone out there planning to attend the CCC Invasion of the Lower Yough? This years assalt will be Aug 12th.13th and 14th and should be a hoot. Last year's CCC attendance was 74 paddlers (mostly butt boaters) and should be at least that this year. Rose and I are planning to drive up from Oklahoma an...

My Snapdragon sprayskirt with a XXL keyhole which was made mainly for the SuperEZ fits quite well on my Cascade.

where are the boats located?

I paddle a GTX conversion C-1 and weigh 205#. I find the boat very stable, pretty fast and hits eddies on a dime. This boat is very hard to stern squirt, not much vertical play without a lot of pourover. This boat performs great on Ocoee type water. At 240#, you would be at the very top end of this ...
