is it my crippled knees?
anyone gone from being a cheap c1er who hasnt spent more than 300$ on a boat in a few years to buying a brand spanking new whitewater canoe? how'd you convince yourself (and/or wife) it was worth $1500?

yeah, still working on that one myself. Especially the "convincing the wife" part. I think that if I buy her the boat she wants, I'll be that much closer to getting the one I want! Good luck!

tell her skirts r for women. and u need to restore ur manhood and the cost to do that is only $1200 difference.
.......i hear ya tho - im sure it wasn't always $300 to get a used kayak/c1. We buy new canoes today - so that years (as sport continues to grow) later people don't have the make a choice that is largely influenced by cost

well, to be honest, she isn't the problem....
i can't convince myself. i mean, c'mon, there is a huge freaking hole in the top! why does that cost extra?
and tommy, my manhood is just fine, thanks for checking sweetie.

When I think of all the fun I have in an OC1, $1500 seems cheap. But, let's do the math. So far I've had my current Prelude for 3 years of paddling at about 70 days of paddling per year. That's roughly just a little over $7 per day ($1500 divided by 210). Pretty good deal for being able to head out to the amusement park of a river any time I want to. And the boat has tons of life left in it.
