still have it?

I have an adjustable pedestal in my "new" outrage and am trying to find the best position for me. I moved it up a notch to get my knees centered better on the knee pads but now am not sure if I will have my weight to far forward in the boat. Where, ideally, should the pedestal be in relation to the ...

thanks for the info

Mike,

did yours come with foot braces? Mine doesn't have them.

just got an Outrage which has saddle and thigh straps, knee pads but no foot pegs. The saddle is adjustable (front to back). It attaches to the floor of the canoe with webbing that runs through a webbing like lattice that is attached to the bottom of the boat. The webbing and flotation say Harmony. ...

I like the idea of a wood paddle but was wondering about the strength and wear compared to glass. Also advice for length selection would be appreciated. I'm 6'0" tall. What's all this about cupped blade and bent shaft? Maybe if I don't know if doesn't matter? This is for paddling my OC-1 Outrage. An...

I've searched the forum but seem to only be able to find info on high end paddles. I'm getting ready to order my first paddle for OC-1 and need advice on a decent quality paddle that isn't too expensive.

My 13 year old is getting ready to venture into the arena of cold water paddling for the first time and I need to find some affordable dry wear for him. I don't want to drop a bundle on new gear when he will probably outgrow soon. I figure he will probably fit into an adult small. Will go with eithe...

does 4" difference in length really make much of a difference?

I'd like to hear from folks who have some experience with these specific boats how they compare in terms of stability (primary and secondary), handling, and water types. Thanks in advance for your input.

Appreciate all the information on composites. One other question I think I mentioned but which has not been addressed. Does the lightness of the boats negatively affect how they respond to big water?

Not that anybody on this site would want it but maybe you've got a friend who is looking for a nice Liquid Logic Remix 79. I have one which is in great shape (only paddled about 6-8 times) and I'd like to trade it for a decent used OC-1

are you associated with Millbrook? Are the composites as tough as Royalex to begin with or would you recommend avoiding them if you have a tendency to bounce off of rocks? I noticed the list price for Rival on the Millbrook website is 1275 and you are asking close to that for the Rival you have list...

I checked the Millbrook site. The Rival they list is super light. I assume it is composite. Are the composite boats as sturdy as royalex or do they require special care?

how about with regard to stability (primary and secondary) and tracking?
