C-Forum

Looking for a ride for a wavesport Z from maine to the potomac armada or south on I95 as far as NC.

Anyone headin' south?

The deck plates were removed to create a nice scoop for pulling enders, correct? Makes enough sense to me. Maybe some testing is in order, once it gets a little warmer, of course.

Recently picked up this boat, but my ankles will have none of this C1 business. Boat has some miles on it, but it is solid. Fully outfitted with a lap belt. Also have a like new mountainsurf kevlar skirt to go with it. $400 or best offer Send me a message with your email and I'll send you some photos.

I hope they enjoy themselves...on water no where close to me!

Cheers to that.

I wouldn't say he wants us to play so much as he would let us play.... :-? But honestly, I could care less about a freestyle/rodeo event held in some remote corner of the world. I would take a local event with average joe paddlers competing right there with the pro boaters over that in a heartbeat. ...

Adding yet another question to this thread, how does the stability of a Prelude stack up against a Spark?

Thanks for the info Kaz and ezwater!

ncdavid, I'd call that guy up in a heartbeat if it wasn't so far away....
Breaks my heart to see an ME broken, and I would love to give it a good home.

With any luck finding materials, I will have some new gunwales done by the end of this week!

And, you'll be relocating those thigh strap connections to pads below the gunwales, no?? :wink: I can not say "yes" loudly enough to that. Ever since I got the boat, I have thought the gunwales was a funny place to attach thighstraps. Now I know not only is it funny, but weak. Time to bust out some...

On the bright side of things, the weather/water levels were great for boating in Maine this past weekend. Boated friday and saturday and had a great time both days. Now for the bad news. Paddling my ME on friday, I got off line on kenduskeag stream and got an up close and personal look at a pretty b...

I've paddled this boat as a kayak and I have to say it is very tippy. It was pretty hard to keep upright as a k1, I can't imagine that it would be much fun as a cboat...

Nice looking rig. When I've taken a fire bowl camping out of a sea kayak I have used something like this. Like a veggie steamer without the holes in it. Yours looks like it would be much more suitable for cooking real sized meals on... [img]http://www.funkyleisure.co.uk/ekmps/shops/funkyleisurel/ima...

I usually just toss mine out in the sun... They also have some holes in them which I'm sure helps. As long as they are in a place with some airflow, they should be good to go. Make sure you don't forget em in some kind of gear bag.... I have a friend who I make put his boots in the back of the truck...

The release mechanism on the pilot is a squeeze and pull type deal.... I think it would be very easy to use unless you couldn't see it, were in a rush/panic, or were wearing gloves and could not get your hand all the way around it. It is also made of plastic, so it will wear down/out eventually and ...

@TNbound: The Rivermate looks good. What about the blade, is it sharp on the upside? I wonder how you get between your skin and a rope or such with a double-sided sharp blade. Is that an issue at all? The rivermate does not have a double blade. It does thin down on the spine of the blade, but it is...

I'm only 19...
Proof of a resurgence of open boating?!
