... honest about these boats.. they weigh nearly the exact same, within 2 lbs in most cases sand extra out fitting beyond stock. I have had a bone stock production Rebel and Condor here in the shop and weighed them both with bare bones outfitting for both (only lacing, thwarts, foam saddle, ...

I would say Alabama but all of our creeks are bone dry! But if you start building wheels into your boat hulls, we may be able to work something out.

I got an Icon last October and have been very pleased with it. It is still bone dry, with the only maintenance being 303 protectant on the gaskets every few weeks and a wash when it started getting funky. To address a few points mentioned by others in the thread: ...

... or a short bulkhead to hold my knees and thigh straps in my boats. In conjunction with a relatively high saddle back (slightly higher than my tail bone), which keeps me from sliding back without the foot pegs, this keeps me in my boat securely enough to allow me to roll, but still allows for quick ...

... C-1 is John Yearick, the leftie with red spare paddle on the deck is me and the other leftie is Tom Irwin. The boats were designed by Pavel Bone for 1970, the last year for 80cm boats. I had one for racing but was using my old Yugo II for the Upper Yough. Ted Waddel is the photographer who ...

... some so just don't shake it too hard. ($25) -Seda Helmet size L. This is a classic and the cream of the crop. This helmet exudes badness to the bone like you wouldn't believe. It's got very little use to it other than absorbing the wearer's ego and the envy of all those who wish they had one. ...

... cfs, 3 ft deep, 30 ft wide, dropping 91 ft/mile) because the levels are predictable, I can hone my river-running skills, and this summer has been bone dry. A bloke hère has a plastic Dagger Atom for sale. I'm 5'10", 160 lbs. I haven't seen the boat, but he says it's in good condition. Would this ...

I do personally prefer thigh straps over la lap belt. A set of high mounted thigh straps, with the side hull anchor behind and below the hip bone and the crotch anchor as high as possible positively focks my legs into position and there is virtually no way for my bum to slide around sideways ...

... built my first C1, a Remix 69. I placed the upper thigh strap anchors in what seemed to be the optimal location, approximately 1.5" behind my hip bone. The issue i'm running into is I've decided I need hip pads but the thigh strap anchor is right where I need my hip pads. Is there a rule of thumb ...

... You will have to drill a hole through the hull on each side. The important part is to make sure that the anchor point is slightly behind your hip bone and also low. You want the straps to pull you down into the saddle and not just back for optimum results. Some people just attach it to the thwart, ...

... vs. your legs are important (angle front to back, and up/down, as well as attachment point to the boat which is most times best just at your hip bone.. :D

... can cause knee pain that my knee wedges can't correct. On the stability and control issue, I'm probably taller from the hip to the shoulder bone than about anyone else on here, but with proper outfitting, I feel just fine even in my old Zealot slalom c-1. In fact, that's my most stable feeling ...

... gaskets and have never had an issue with swimming,and I have definitely put them to the test.When folded together with the dry top, i'm dry as a bone...mostly.I agree with Larry,if it's warm enough for a shorty,then boat in shorts.

... strain on the tendons and ligaments that form the shoulder. Keeping in mind that the shoulder joint is the only major joint without a piece of bone as a "receiver" for the ball on the other bone, it is easy to see why the shoulder is especially prone to dislocation. (The knee isn't as bad due ...

... is the case? Assuming his pedestal is stock, by that method it is over 3 1/2" too far forward. It is kind of hard to reconcile that with his hip bone being 4 inches aft of center, no? My pedestal is a stock Mohawk and is placed as you recommend (within 1/4") and my hip joint winds up centered ...
