Looking for a Millbrook Hooter

Anyone got a Millbrook Hooter they would want to part with? A Howler would be acceptable too. I am willing to do a cash or cash/trade deal with an Esquif Spark that I can let go.

I'm in Pittsburgh PA. Thanks

Register early, register often. We still could use a couple of volunteers for safety and traffic control.

Re: Batmax upper weigth limit ?

My memory grows feeble, but I want to say 160-170. I paddled an Extrabat at 185+ a couple decades ago, worked out alright.

Back on the market - I think it's a Batmax

Back on the market, kids are done with it, nice little first boat - think it might be a Batmax, no idea who made it or what the layup is (Apple is suspected based on the deck stripes but there is no label in the boat). It's been shortened to 11' 10", pretty decent work. New seat and knee cups instal...

Re: Need a new PFD

As I get older If you are, in fact, old and in the way...you might be old enough to remember when: they were called "life jackets," and when quite a few whitewater paddlers made their own. Remember the Walbridge kits? Take your old one apart, use the fabric as a pattern, buy new material, bam...new...

Re: Need a new PFD

Closest I've found is the Astral YTV, but still big buckles on the sides, not a fan of that. Be interesting to see if the old Lotus designs do come back.

Need a new PFD

As I get older (and heavier) the slalom PFD just doesn't cut it any more for river running so I guess it's time to break down and get a real one. Trouble is - every dang PFD out there is 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. Buckles, straps, hooks, loops - are you going climbing or going paddling? I'v...

Re: I think it's a Batmax

Taking this one off the market. After our last race in C-2, my daughter said "I'd like to learn C-1 now"

Can't argue with that!
