My 1st Acrobat. 1/2" cut. VERY sparkley 8) More of a squirtable cruiser than a true squirt boat.

My John Sweet-built Extrabat. That thing used to do everything I wanted, and do it easily. I basically wore it out from hard use.

3 Pyranha Spanish Fly's
repeat 3, ha ha
I bought all 3 new, outfitted them, paddled them and used them as a crutch("my go to boat', for big water).
I thought they were holding me back from fine tuning my C1 skills.
dam, i wished i had them back

Sold a mango (orange) outrage that I wish I had back. Anyone got one of those you would be willing to part with?

Yeah me too. Needed to thin the herd and my old green Outrage was OK so I sold the nice wood gunneled orange Outrage to Wayne from NPMB.
Not a month later my green Outrage cracked under the seat. So now I'm withoutrage. SIGH...

pontoon boat

Post by econpaddler »

It was on a pontoon boat. July 4th weekend on the lake. I was drunk and the chicks were naked. We never saw the coast guard coming.



Oh, parting. I thought you said partying.

Bliss Stick S.C.U.D. - it got me beaten down all over but it was such a fun little boat, I may well buy another one if I can get the money together.


I kinda regret letting my dad have my old SuperStar... I might try to convince him to let me make a k1-c1 converter kit over the summer so I can experience the huge airloops that only paddling a vastly oversized boat brings (or better yet, install them in a demo Mon-Star).

That's a good idea, I might be able to convince him to swap over then...

I once owned a couple of cedar strip sea kayaks..bear mountain boats "Endeavour 17" design. Beautiful and just the thing to cruise the coast with if nothing was going on on the rivers. Happens I never found time to paddle them again after getting into WW open boating.. so I let them go. Sometimes now it just gets me.. never gonna do a 14 day sea kayaking trip in my Spark, eh? Well..

;D

My old Quake, whats worse is it belongs to my best friends wife and he won't let her sell it back to me cause he likes it too much. So I have to drool over it every time I'm at their house.
