Can anyone recommend a set of float bags the will fit the Hemlock SRT? Glenn?
I remember Glenn mentioning in another thread that he uses 30" bags, made by a maker that's gone out of business but similar to lots of other ones. Something like these
Yes, it depends on how much of the boat you want to fill with bags.For size, I guess it also depends on how much volume of the canoe you want to fill and how much open space you want for gear. The more volume you fill with air instead of water, the less kinetic energy the capsized canoe has as it moves downstream. K.E.=1/2 M x (V squared)
My Outrage (12' long) came two 54 " airbags. In my H2Pro (13'2" long) I put a 60" bag in the stern and a 54" in the bow. Or maybe 60" in the bow and 54" in the stern; I forget which.
At 15', the SRT could take some pretty big bags if you wanted to max out the filled volume.
