Unfortunately I do not have a good roll and when I swim out of my Taureau my legs sometimes get scratched up pretty badly. I have an old Cascade that has some rubber trim lining the cockpit rim Anyone know where I can purchase the material used to line the old Cascade cockpit rim's? If not, does any...

AJ,

I just tried my Taureau after the above listed modifications and it feels MUCH MUCH more stable! I even rolled the boat 4 out of my 5 practice attempts. I really feel ready to try it on Class 3-4 now!

Good luck with yours!

AJ, Thanks for posting this. I just picked up a Taureau this weekend, immediately cut the saddle from 9 inches to 7.5. It felt very unstable, much like what you are explaining. I just cut another inch off the saddle (6.5 now)and cut a little off the inside allowing my knees to reach the outter edge ...

There's one for sale in Asheville NC for $1600. If you're located anywhere near Asheville this may be what you're looking for. My brother knows how to get in touch with the seller. PM him, his cboats name is Atucky

Let me know if you did not receive my PM. Also this boat comes with good airbags and a brand new snapdragon skirt made specifically for a cascade. The boat's in GREAT condition (grey color).

Email me and i'll send pictures.

Sent you a PM...Let me know what you think.

Regarding the roll issue, do you have a transfer tube (or two) at the base of the saddle? It sounds like water may be getting stuck on one side because it cannot pass through to the other side. This would likely cause what you are explaining.

Can a rotomolded boat oilcan? If not, if the bottom of the boat is compressed inward should I be concerned about the life left in the boat.

I'd love to see some pics.

I gotta question for you regarding a boat.

Thanks,

I used the red can Weldwood for my knee pads which seemed to hold up great for me in my Zephyr . Give it a shot and let us know how it works for you.

Good Luck!
Phil

The Nitro will be a good first boat for you.

Kevin, did you get rid of the Spark? Shoot me an email.
