Thank all of you for your knowledge and advice. I am having nice results with a heat gun that has an attachemnt similar to a putty knife that slides under the edge of the item as the heat softens the glue. Have not resorted to acetone for fear of damage to the interior layer of othe ABS. In my origi...

Thank you for your helpful hints. I have decided to put one together from individual components after all to try to save a few bucks. I had looked at the various kits but thought they were a bit pricey. thanks again,

Thanks for that tip! Keith

The South Fork saddle system is located in Auburn, AL. I need to get advice about removal of the factory saddle. I suppose a heat gun would help with releasing the glue used to attach the various parts.

I just purchased a Recon canoe factory outfilled with a South Fork saddle system. I intend to install a bulkhead saddle. Anyone interested in buying the South Fork saddle for $100 plus shipping? Keith Causey

I am considering installing an electric bilge pump system in my 13' Recon. I do not want to collect the various parts and build it myself. I need advice on who sells the best kits at the best price. Any advice will be much appreciated. Keith

when learning and attempting to roll an open canoe, which type vests are preferable? Thanks, Keith

Thanks friends for your responses. Horizon no longer makes these saddles. I have a call in to Blackfly and I intend to call Sandy tomorrow to check on the one he has for sale. Thanks again, Keith. OH yes, Canots Legere in Canada makes a nice looking one for $250 but would cost $300 to get it shipped...

I have contacted Canot Le'gare' in Canada and they do make a nice looking bulkhead saddle for $251 but shipping cost by Fedex is over $300. I have called Blackfly but have not spoken wit...

I am very new to the Forum buy got some great advice about Mitchell paddles from other members the past few days. I want a bulkhead saddle and cannot seem to get anywhere with my quest. Horizon does not answer my inquiries and I hear they no longer make them. Blackfly I hear makes them but cannot fi...

thank you both for your replies. Since I was thinking lighter was better I had elected to get the carbon/carbon but on strength of your experience with the wooden blade with figerglass facing, I changed my mind. NOC did have the Premier Carbon/Wood and I just ordered it. It is good to have folks tha...

Does anyone know a shop that might have Mitchell Premier carbon/carbon flat blade canoe paddles is stock. Factory says not in production at this time and no one I have located has any left. Thanks for any help, Keith
