Can pigment be added to G-Flex epoxy? I'm repairing a Duralite hull with some deep scratches. It's a Hellman Cruiser. Any thoughts on how best to restore the color to the repaired spots? I emailed the mfg and they can sell me a liter of matching paint for $50 plus shipping. It's a two-part 4-1 mix. ...

I'm helping a friend with his new L'Edge factory bulkhead saddle. I saw Craig Smerda's outfitting guide on this site and it was helpful. I like the idea of pushing pvc pipe through the saddle in three places to allow water to drain from one side to the other. I'm wondering what is the maximum diamet...

Ideally I'd like to find one with metal toolbox-type storage compartments that could be locked. I need to store canoeing and camping gear for easy packing an unpacking and storage. Even if you don't have something for sale, please contact me with any advice or ideas you have. I'd really appreciate i...

Looking for a good trailer that would hold 4 canoes with storage below. Ideally it would have storage compartments with hinged lids that can be locked. it would be great to store paddling and camping gear in it. If something like this isn't available, I might consider buying a canoe trailer and cust...

That's good! Very funny.

Paddled a borrowed Esquif Zoom Saturday and Sunday on the Tellico since my Prelude's still busted up from ALF. Wow! That's a fun little boat. I'm surprised it's not more popular. I suppose the reason is that it's royalex and wears too quickly, especially with such hard chines. Based solely on perfor...

as I'm late in posting it and the owner has probably given up on finding it by now. Found: solo whitewater canoe on Clear Fork River TN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I found this boat on the bank of Clear Fork betweeen Brewster Bridge and Burnt Mill...

I found this boat on the bank of Clear Fork betweeen Brewster Bridge and Burnt Mill Bridge roughly 2-3 years ago. It appeared to have been abandoned as it had been there for months and had weeds growing in it. It's an old beater and probably not worth much. I'd like to sell it just to get it out of ...

considering your size. It's a classic that still has some fans so you could probably get rid of it easily when you outgrow it. Also, it makes a good solo fishing and canoe-camping boat should you need that in the future. On the other end of the spectrum is the Viper 11, the most nimble and aggressiv...

Who's got the lowest price/best deal? I'm helping my friend find one. He lives in middle TN. I'll be in the market for one within a couple of months or so also.

My Prelude has oilcanning, but I haven't worried much about it. Does it really affect performance that much?

wood gunwales. Anyone know what those homemade plastic deckplates are made from?

looking for best way to treat them before installing. I remember someone posting something somewhere about using a pvc pipe and putting wood and oil inside and sealing it. Sounds interesting. Should they be thoroughly soaked, then wiped dry? I have lots of experience with Watco Danish oil for interi...

also, but I haven't worried to much about it. Does it significantly impair the perfomance?

sell one at a reasonable price? I know Bob Britt makes custom ones too. Bob, what is the price on those? If I try to make one by adding foam to one of those big rectangular saddles, is it fairly easy to accomplish?

much obliged,
Spence
