Does anyone know how to tell the vintage of a Millbrook? Any concerns with aged kevlar if it has not been abused?

Currently my Octane 91 as it is the most forgiving and easy to paddle for a relative beginner. However, I did pick up an Outrage not to long ago and briefly paddled it through some gates. Even without any outfitting to speak of I could speculate that it will be the future favorite once I get it up a...

The Mighty Cheat in Albright, WV is a good bet. If you go to Teeter's Campground on a weekend you should be able to find some boaters. I will be up that way this weekend but running the Narrows (2-3) section. New River Gorge is also always running and a good place to find people. Little Falls on the...

Going to be up in the big chitty for the weekend and looking to link up with someone within a few hours of NYC to do some paddling. Anyone up for something or can point me in the right direction? Already posted on KCCNY.

I've always been a big fan of the "Cross Strokin'" series. You can find them on Vimeo.

If you poke around with the tags and who has liked the videos you can usually find lots of good canoe videos. Enjoy.

Thanks for the replies. Given the price tag and needing another lake and light whitewater capable tandem I think I will pass.

Any know which model this is? Mohaek Solo 13 purple canoe

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I seem to have nailed down at least one if not two locally. Search is over.

Sent you a PM.

That is correct sir. Open boat saddle with the bulkhead and the little storage compartment. Thanks for looking.

I am still looking for a perception saddle for a project. I am in D.C. but travel occasionally (frequently to central VA and Baltimore) and pay via pay-pal if someone wants to ship me one on the cheap. Thanks for looking.

As to the cons: I found that before I shaped them properly my pads were too bulky and my foot would sometimes get wedged between the saddle and the pad when trying to exit the boat. I admittedly have a pretty tight fit in there. I never felt seriously threatened but it was scary enough to take the t...

I installed hip pads in my Octane 91 and love them. Increases control when paddling and makes rolling easier. I am sure you could buy them somewhere but I think making your own is going to be the best bet. Just get some mini cell foam and shape away until you get the desired formation. I can pull my...

Thanks for the response. I use foot pegs in my other boat (Blackfly Octane 91) and find that I cannot roll the boat without them. This saddle was just installed in a Dagger Caption that I plan to use (temporarily) as a solo tripper for the early summer (I guess I won't be rolling it with gear loaded...

I have a perception saddle that I just installed and as I was paddling it around the lake it dawned on me that I did not have foot pegs. So, are the Yakima style braces my only option? Do they install easily onto a Perception saddle? Any clever and cheap (more important) solutions that I could utili...
