any inflatable canoes or c1s??

Post by billcanoes »

So with the smaller house and lack of storage I'm debating getting an inflatable canoe, to compliment my inflatable girlfriend. So I found a SOAR 12 have not purchased- has anyone paddled one or other inflatable or even duckie? I also considered the inova traveler for c1 boating... anyway the other rational would be I'd be taking it on the back of my motorcycle.

Bill, we saw a SOAR 12 on BSF today at 1200 cfs and the pair in it looked like they were having fun. But, we were all having fun. We missed you at ALF.

A certain former Esquif rep used to have an inflatable (canoe), or rather it was a converted kayak - a board (literally) across the side tubes to make the seat. I can't recall the manufacturer of the ducky, but I imagine you could do that to any of them.

I'm a big fan of the NRS bandit - not too pricy, and LIGHT.

If I was willing to spend a few more $ I'd cut a Thrillseeker made to my specs / weight.

Bill, get in touch with David Nickerson. I paddled his inflatable briefly on the Deerfield a few years ago. Nice boat.

Grabner dealer? Or is it direct order?

The Grabner 'Outside' looks like something that needs to be part of a certain collection:) Not necessarily this year, but sometime...

Jack I missed ALF too :( The house is coming along nicely and no "alleged" homicidal roomate- as he was never convicted of either count LOL
