Re: Need help identifying which model of 1979 Perception can
Mystery solved. Here is what Steve Scarborough had to say about the boat. " That is an HD-1. It's a Hahn c1 hull with the sides built up. The serial number starts with WEM, which stands for William E. Masters. My hands are definitely clean on that boat. All of my designs started on paper or computer...

Zap Paddles
Since I was brought in to the conversation about which wood shaft paddle to buy I thought it'd be a good idea to introduce Zap Paddles to CBoats.net I've been a woodworker and a canoeist since age 16 or so. Zap Paddles combines the love of these two art forms. Zap Paddles has been been the works for...

Re: paddle suggestions
I've never had an aluminum tip delaminate from the carbon fiber skin on one of my Zap Paddles. Mat Toddhunter has been using his hard on creeking water for 4 or so years w/o that being a problem.

Re: Wood gunnels
Watco Teak oil is tough stuff. For best results the first time oiling gunnels they should be removed from the boat and heavily soaked on all sides, ends and penetrations. Something else to consider, though I've never done it, is to use a penetrating epoxy such as CPES from rotdoctor.com.. Using the ...

Boat material
What about Kevlar? Lightweight and infinetly and easily repairable.
Saw an old Mad River Kevlar Twister on the river recently. It moved beautifully.
