My Whitesell Descender went to the great Whitewater river in the sky finally. I will remember it with great love and fond memories. Can anyone recommend a replacement canoe now that Whitesell canoes are no longer being made (at least I think they are no longer being made). I know the Whitesells were...

So when can a nobody slob like me get one? Also, what is the major difference between this and the Spanish Fly (I have that one and love it!). Tim

Hi Folks, Im an OC for twenty years - not too accomplished but hope I'm not a total newb either. I currently paddle a Whitesell Descender and recently a Spanish Fly (love both!). I'd like advice on the world of c-1 - I primarily want a c-1 to go down a 1-3 class river with some ability to rock hop, ...

PS. the OC I was/am paddling is a Whitesell Descender. Tim

Hi Guys,

Thanks, my newbiness is showing, I admit it. The Ammo may be great as a kayak but I'm hearing you say "No Way" as a conversion to C-1. You saw above what I basically want to do. Any recommendations you can come up with? Appreciate the answer. Thanks again, Tim

Hi Folks - I'm an OC'er for years. Tried to Kayak and did OK at all day lessons but long story short: My gut muscles just can't hold the L position for long (I can kneel all day long however) Hence the conversion idea..... I want a boat that lets me do some point to point on a river but I want to re...
