SOLD to a happy cboater in W. Virginia!

I have three fiberglass C-1 available for who wants them. There are 2 Fanatics and one Ultramax. They are all 4 meters (13 ft) long and in decent shape, although each has had its share of repairs done. All are set up for women about 5'6". I have three sprayskirts for ...

Thanks for this information. The last boat I raced extensively was an Ultramax, which was quite stable. I'm fine with more rounded hulls, as long as they don't require the balance demanded by my old wildwater C1. It sounds like any of the newer boats should ...

I don't see wings. I would guess UltraMax.

Apple made a version of the Max II and the UltraMax. The Max II was 8" deep, and the Ultra was something less than that.

... contemporary design. I would stay away from the Extrabat. Pretty small all the way around. A modified cudamax would be great or even a stern cut Ultramax - wouldn't take too much to shorten either. One big difference though, most of the modern boats are "cab" forward, while the older Max boats ...

Back in the late '80s Steve Dunlap and I modified a beat-up Ultramax by cutting 4"-5" out of the seam line. The potato chip that resulted didn't have enough volume to float Steve (at 175 lbs) without him constantly paddling forward. (I was only 145 lbs, ...

... more than rigid fixed straps - somewhat of a cross between a bulkhead and straps. I had a set of aluminum machines (covered with foam) in an old ultramax. The benefit is that if you get the fit right, you lose the flex that a fabric strap has, so the boat can be more responsive. the negative ...

... bad compared to the 17' grumman with a lake keel that I also had access to... I never made it on the river with the sage, because I bought an ultramax. :D

... II at that point), I actually missed the flat-bottom, hard chines, and edginess (all of which the Hahn didn't have) and moved quickly into an Ultramax. However, the Hahn was a reasonably forgiving C-1 to paddle.

Adam was surprising a lot of people with his "tigermax C1" - An ultra cut down ultramax. At age 10 he was capable of things most of us only dream of...

John Sweet looks good on that run - he spent a bunch of time getting recirculated in the top hole a few days earlier - not a happy camper...

Any idea what model this is? Looks a bit like a high volume Acrobat to me, but I'm assuming a cut down Ultramax or Batmax might be more correct?

here's some older c1 i found on boatertalk. this same guy has a hahn and a ultramax for sale.[/url]

... pressure will do it. The Gyro was a pretty good cruiser for its time. Faster and lighter than any of the other plastic boats. I was paddling an Ultramax slalom boat at the same time, and neither was a good squirter. You really had to work at it. (Of course, I weighed less than 150lbs at the ...
