[quote="wildwaterc2"] Have you experienced problems with a regular style on vinyl gunwales and Royalex? I have two boats I've done like this with no problems with it. /quote] Wildwater2 got me thinking. Gunwales come in many styles and shapes but if it ends up being aluminum-royalex-aluminum it make...

What Bob said. Most hw stores carry the expanding rivets not the tri-folds for soft material.

Sounds like we are on parallel paths. I weigh 210 and carry about the same amount of gear and love the Prodigy X as a river runner.. I also test paddled a Outrage X and I thought it was ok but sluggish in comparison. I still have my Prodiigy X and use it when the water levels are down but bought a M...

1 or 2 cups should do it. You just need enough to coat the whole inside of the bag. No need to make a water balloon.

I have used storage tub lids on my Ocoee but it had to be done in two pieces and tends to buckle in the sun. Plan to check out a plastic supply company in Missoula the next time I'm there. Hat...

The measured center isn't necessarily the center of balance on a asymmetrical hull. Try floating the hull without paddler or pedestal on a calm body of water without wind, waves or current. Add a couple of cups of water and mark the center of the puddle. Putting your center of mass slightly behind t...

Gone to a good home. SOLD

The Tohicken whitewater release did't happen this weekend. A lot of cars with boats driving around looking at an empty creek. Here is the best explanation of why it happened I've found. Turns out they did test the valve but it picked release morning to fail. http://www.theintell.com/news/local/white...

Probably lighter fully outfitted than your Outrage empty.
