Dagger Id 7.0 - $50 OBO

Anyone out there want to mess around in a converted Dagger Id? I just don't paddle it anymore, and i know it's worth almost nothing due to its age, but i'd like for it to find a good new home. Isle of Palms, SC is the current location of the boat. I'll be there for a week or so in late June, and cou...

Cascade for sale - SOLD

Red Cascade for sale in Portland, OR. In good shape (as good as can be expected for a 15-year old boat). I bought it second-hand a few years ago, so can't vouch for its entire storage history, but i've always kept it out of the sun. Saddle is in good condition. Asking $150. Please send me an email a...

Winter and spring are the rainy seasons, and are the best times to catch all of the coast range rivers and lower elevation cascade creeks, and also to catch some crazy floodstage runs (Lake Creek down by eugene at 10,000-20,000cfs is one of the funnest runs anywhere, and it hits those levels every w...

I've boated with nothing but kayakers for years out here. I always make it clear to them when running hard runs that i stop to scout things i can't see b/c backferrying at the lip of blind drops just doesn't work for me in a c-boat. However, i've always loved watching my kayaking friends try to run ...

It's interesting how many different views there are on this. However, i strongly disagree that a chiropractor is the only path to recovery. As i said in my prior post, i just went through a severe c6-c7 nerve pinch, and have achieved an essentially total recovery through physical therapy, rather tha...

I went through this same thing over the last couple of years. I didn't get it looked at soon enough, however, and one day it flared up so bad i had to hold my head in place while getting out of bed (or doing any other similar motion), and i lost all of the feeling in my index finger on my onside han...

Based upon the data points that i have, i think the wheelboy would be great for your weight. i'm 210, and it's too small for me. Another boater out here tried it out a couple of weeks ago - he was 180 or so - and thought that it would be better for someone smaller than him. mine's still for sale - e...

Diesel conversion

I got the chance to borrow a Diesel 75 conversion this morning. I think it was the best cruising C-1 i've paddled in years, including the finikymeister. Even better than the Atom for someone my size (210 lbs buck naked and dry). Very good primary stability, and rock solid secondary stability. Didn't...

I bought the wheelboy directly from Drakkar online, and ConeBone from this site helped with the delivery process. I think Drakkar arranged to have them shipped as far as Seattle/Tacoma, and ConeBone picked them up at the port. I then drove up to Olympia and picked mine up at his house. It actually w...

i'll miss it, but it'll be better off in someone else's hands. anyway, it's better for someone smaller than me (210lbs).

I haven't been on this site in awhile - has there been any news on the
Fatboy? that's the boat i'm waiting for.
