Does anyone know of any good instruction for building a saddle and bulkhead from scratch for my savage skeeter? any advice on foot pegs?

If you check under the "Outfitting" link on the left you'll find links to the "infitting" site by Craig Smerda...GREAT images and explanation. You'll also find another few designs, and at least one more (of a conversion anyway) when I get finished with the updates (most likely not tonight, unfortunately...I've been cutting cross-country ski trails for the past three days and am a bit tired .

Would a persception c-1 saddle work in a Skeeter, if so one is for sale on this site.

I've got the Beluga saddle in my Aftershock & it's super- comfortable and displaces lots of water:

Anybody else think of that TV show called "The OC" (Orange County) when they see "OC" on this site? My friends are always talking about it. I even went to a party with this theme.
So imagine my surprise when I showed up with a Werner Bandit, a beard and a bailing pump. Everyone else was dressed up in "cool" attire and looked at me funny. "You can't take a canoe down this," they said. I mumbled the name "Nolan Whitesell" and shoved off into the party. I even offered to carry everyone's lunch and gear around while at the party -- as soon as I found my boat, that is. Hey, I just flipped and swam a class V, self rescued back into my boat while plummeting down a waterfall, then flipped again when my canoe was so filled with water that I missed the portage eddy. I'll find the boat later and just swim the rest of the river until I do. My friends say I'm crazy, but swimming class V drops in the winter just doesn't bother me anymore. Whomever finds my boat is going to find a lot of beer strapped in under the float bags.
haha. Well, the first paragraph is true anyway.

I guess I'm no longer hip - I don't know anything about any show called the "OC", oh, wait, I never was hip to begin with...
Speaking of Nolan. Anybody remember a documentary, maybe on Discovery or by National Geographic from 10+ years ago that included Nolan? There were a couple of kayakers (and squirt boaters? And Risa Shimoda?) and Nolan running a river in South America (the Futaleafeu? <spelling alert>). I remember one sequence where Nolan was running some sort of a spout of a falls where, while on his way down he starts to flip to his offside. First he tries an offside low brace (a move the ties me in knots), when that is not working you see him flip the paddle arround so he now has it lefty and proceeds to deeeep brace/roll as he plunges into the pool. I was so impressed.
But then again, I saw it on tape while at a party so who knows if I remember it right...
