That's along the lines of one approach I was thinking, except to make a closed-cell form for the bow and actually glass it into the boat in the process. Maybe that's a crummy long-term situation, I don't know. But yeah, cutting the deck close to the desired shape and then cutting the hull back a bit...

I picked up a Galasport Pyrog for super cheap and I want to make it into a SPyrog, a Short Pyrog. I'm not interested in racing under any regulations, so I am going to chop the wings off and take 12" - 18" off the stern. I think those are pretty straightforward modifications. What I need help with is...

Looking at a Pyrog elsewhere. Do you have any opinions of that Long Thing?

If you come by for lunch, you get sardines.

If you come and pick this up any day before noon, I'll make you a special smoothie with cold brew coffee, organic whole milk, frozen bananas, and peanut butter.

It's what the Kool Aid Man drinks right before he has to run through a brick wall.

This is just an excuse to meet people.

Off-the-shelf kayak sprayskirts will usually pose a problem for C1 conversions, as the tunnel is positioned too far back and is also shorter than preferred. A custom job is called for. You can make your own, of course: http://www.wwslalom.net/skirt/index.htm Or some makers, I think snapdragon used t...

Thanks, Jim. That's the kind of take I was looking for. Some basic parameters, length, width, etc.

And about the rain part, I do agree that it's most enjoyable when the water goes in the river.

Okay, I've got a question. What's the best conversion for all-around whitewater cruising? I'm not interested in stern squirting for the purposes of this discussion. Just a kayak that should've been a C1. Fast, nimble, and not hole bait. Something that could run everything but super tight insanely cr...

SOLD!

Dagger Cascade, very good condition. Four floatation bags included, one doesn't hold air so well. Aquaseal should take care of that. Black and white, a good looking boat. $300 obo Located in Newburgh, NY. Can deliver up the Hudson Valley an hour or so, and down to NYC. I could bring it out to Bull's...

That's a very clean looking set-up.

"Least uncomfortable" LOL.
