HAHA...last place id ever expected to buy rubber.

hmm tried em, dont understand why people like em. My personal con is they limit how much I can lay the boat over and keep weight centered. Now, some of the Millbrook boats I have paddled dont do much different the farther they edged, so I can see how hip blocks can function in that application. But ...

I would be way into this, but gonna have to be for next year. Already headed to Fiddlehead slalom in May. Also that will give me time to work on getting Dale back north for some runs. definitely want to check out the Derby.

Just glue a block of minicell to the floor. 3x3xwhat ever would extend up the sides of the hull a bit. when she grow, scrape it off and reglue.

Glad to oblige. I would definitly be down for a Millbrook armada. that would be very cool. Would certainly warrant some beatin the bushes when organizing. It seem crazy but around here there are still glass only guys who get mad when I so much as mention plastic boats lol. I imagine NY much the same...

Phew...14hr driving round trip to get the boat yesterday. But it was all worth it. Wood is fair but can be refinished. Otherwise, it a barely scratched time capsule.

Imo that an mjm. I bought it so don't worry yer pretty little heads about it. Lol

Blunt Family Paddles. Kenny Kiley has arts training in wood, and apprenticed with Keith Backlund. I recvd props on the shredder stick he crafted for me from a couple people with brand new snyder sticks on the UY this past summer. No shittin.

i saw a televised surf kayak comp once, and there was some quick footage of a slicy C1 that was tearin it up! myself I'd be gettin an outrigger canoe to hit up the ocean or bigger lakes.

nuthin wrong with shortening, but I suggest try it as sized for a while. paddle is a lever basically, and u want it to maximize the energy ur putting into it, especially in a more classically sized (12-16ft) canoe if u dont have, or dont want to purchase a punch set as suggested above, get a finishi...

chris I replaced the vinyl gunwales on my tandem after the Savage debacle by drilling out the rivets. I sourced the new gunwales from Tussey Mtn Outfitters in Bellefonte, PA. and could be had with or without aluminum insert. I opted for insert. Putting on the new gunwales was super easy utilizing st...

well there are at least three types of JB, regular cure, 5 min, and an underwater type. the standard mixes up and drys gray. the other types I have not used, perhaps those are different.

wow :o from ur description i can say for certain those drings are glued in with JBWeld. that must be a former Lengthy boat or at least outfitted at tussey Mtn outfitters. the holes with mushroomed weld are dead giveaway, those guys are the only ones i know that glue them that way. I say stiff putty ...
