But there too expensive, then i have to pay for the outfitting. I dont know if the local canoe shop sells the prelude, they sell the zoom, but thats too expensive. But i would probably break the spark by dropping it when its cold. I need a boat thats gonna last till it falls appart.

Hi tiggy The airbags are let down when it goes into the shed so any water can drain from them and it makes it easier for it to fit in. But when it is on the water they are blown all the way up so the outfitting wont move forward. I dont wont to put straps in it because i dont like t be fastened into...

The only problem with putting the foot pegs most of the way farward is all the weight is at the front, something people have said to me lots of time and how bad it is if your gonna' go into flow. I dont weigh that much and i'm a bit small. I was thinking of puttin some more foam at the top of saddle...

Thanks
