... the Noah "Atlantis" series. I try to "limit" myself to boats that 10 or more have been made of (as such the Oxygen counts, but really the Mentor, Maven, and Ceemweaver don't, at least at this point). I thought Ian did a fantastic job pulling all my ramblings together - he and I chatted quite a ...

... (or anyone) are welcome to try out here on the river (flatwater / slow moving, but it's water!): Acrobat (master cut) Acrobat (standard cut) Edge Maven Mentor Oxygen I believe the only other two c1 squirt boats out there are the Aerobat (if anyone has one for sale let me know!) and Ceemweaver ...

... and they are going strong. Dynel is wicked stuff. Apart from soaking up an amazing amount of resin the stuff is brutal on metal blades. I made a Maven with Dynel as the outer layer of the hull. Cutting it down (cured) I usually get the hull and deck out of one blade, sometimes more. I went through ...

That's what you get for paddling a squirt boat at a weight exceeding the cut;)

Well, except for the Demo Maven. You aren't heavy enough for that one!

I my old ACE III resurfaces try it out... or drop by and try the Oxygen;)

Running a single Class II rapid in the Maven. Got off water feeling like I had a 6 hr work out. I think the O2 would be just as hard. As for the ACE - never been in it so I take your word on that one Adam.

I admit... my used Ace III was by far the most difficult for me... even the Oxygen (and Maven) are easier.

That said, some of the problem may have been the flexing hull. I have a Bala (also a WildWater boat) that is far less terrifying.

... V ;) )(PS Composites) Meltdown (UK boat... not sure if any on this side of the pond. One of these days!)(Valley in the UK had it... not sure now?) Maven... not a great design, but a good test of your paddling ability :wink: . Mysteryable by someone... maybe. CAN be a lot of fun though (I still ...

... is curved to one side in the video, but I've never seen anything else w/ a rim shaped like that. The white deck hides the curves. i think its a Maven how many 02's are out there? Would u suggest a backband? It's not a Maven. I had use of Maven #1 for a while. That was a very narrow & low volume ...

... away. 4th was a house, outside but under cover for long boats, and on screened porch for the rest. This is also where a lot of the work on the Maven was done... Then I wound up with a barn and they lived there until we built a house and I added a covered boat rack to it to keep the boats out ...

... designs and have at it. Easy to test while it is still in the plug stage (unlike foam...) and them modify as necessary. Searches on "Mentor" or "Maven" will yield information and images on my non-strip built boats (the strip boats are open flat water boats for kids that and are not on the site). ...

Maven (and Mentor) and 30 other C1s available for demo too:)

Find and paddle a Mustang and a Maven, then come back and tell me that.

demo maven

Nah... it can't show... even the look of it would be class VII for the Gnarlz!!!






Note to self... this could get ugly! Sending XOXOXO to you Gnarlz! Really do hope you can make it.. hope we have a wide selection of water to choose from!

Neat boat. I know I enjoyed my time in it. Didn't Huge have it last?
