Thanks for the advice folks - in the end I've put deck plates on, added 4 inch thick foam across the front deck plus a small foam deflector - also 4 inches nearly back at the cockpit.

It's made a huge difference - can now run 4 to 5 foot drops without taking on hardly an water at all

Sandie,

You couldn't let me know if you find one that works - I'm thinking of doing one, once I exhaust the possibilities of what I can run in the skeeter I've just got 2nd hand.

Good luck in your search - I'll let you know if I hear of anything suitable this end of the country.

Cheers,

Andy.

If there were, I'd be prepared to give it a go in an open, but I guess neither an outrage or a skeeter are ideal anyway... so you'd still be national champion

Good luck in the slalom,

Andy.

Jim,

What's the name of the pump manufacturers - so I can see if anyone stock them in the UK, as no-one I've spoken to in the UK has ever mentioned using one - probably aren't enough poeple here who'd want one, maybe.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Cheers - useful article - shame I can't manage the last recommendation of paddling 3 or 4 times a week. I've got Thrill of the Paddle - I think I need to re-read it - going from an Outrage to a Skeeter changes the rules a bit. I'm not personally that concerned about filling up with water - so not ru...

Thanks for the input guys. :) I'll certainly search the site - having only just come across it, searching for stuff on skeeters, as I've just got the boat.. I was wondering if anyone had rigging something up top deflect water at the front - possibly by carving an old deck up or something - as you sa...

Anybody tried using one and did it work ?

I've got a Savage Skeeter which tends to fill up on grade 4 and I wondered if a spray deck might help ?

Any thoughts/experiences/recommendations gratefully received.

Andy.
