I'm looking for a Slasher in good condition. Anyone have one moldering away in their boat rack? I'm in Maryland/DC area, but willing to travel a bit.

Thanks!
Colleen

Never! You can have my slasher when you pry it from my cold dead fingers HaHaHaHa!

But you can borrow it.

We'll chat real soon,
Eric

Any particular reason for a Slasher?

Colleen, I'll hold him upside down while you pull his Slasher off of him. Then Eric and I will be even for him stealing my paddle out of my hands as I was setting up to roll on the Cassleman

Yeah, why a Slasher? Assuming you're fairly light in weight, you could pick up a good used slalom c-1 and campaign it with a very low rate of repairs? hades, I'm heavy, and I never cracked the hull of my Dagger Zealot.

Why a Slasher? I like the design and it's plastic; I'm a klutz in a C-1 still. Yeah, it's heavy, but a Slasher tolerates my errors much better than anything glass right now. We have one in the house already, so I'm familiar with the boat, and this way David can paddle circles around me in his and still point and laugh (at me).

Still haven't had any luck locating one yet..., but I might have to take Jim up on his offer to help shake Eric out of his!

I dunno why, but, I'm fond of mine, too...

Colleen, I can assure you that any recent composite c-1 slalom boat suitable for your weight will tolerate your klutziness better than a Slasher. And by now, your odds of finding a Slasher with much life left in the plastic are not good! Enjoy the giant, pendulous sprayskirt !

But it doesn't have the original outfitting (the plastic cockpit thingy that your thighs tucked into)

would let it go for not much

aargh!

Oddly enough, I have some original outfitting lying around you could have for free...

well, there you go. With my boat and Scott's outfitting, you could make a real fine Slasher.

My boat's in Blacksburg, VA

Colleen,

Did you ever find a slasher? I found one that I'm interested in, but I don't know if the wife will let me.

Paul,

Yes, I did find a Slasher with thigh straps. It is outrageously yellow, and if you ever see me upside down in the river *please* come and save my sorry soul.

PS-It's great fun and you are welcome to try it anytime.

PPS-The Zapper is alive and well. Being of a delicate nature, it has been wistfully thinking about more padding in the river, anytime soon will do.

Arrgh and Scott,

Thank you both very much for your generous offers about Slasher and parts. I know this is late in coming, but I wanted to thank you anyway!

Colleen
