Literally just doing this a couple of days ago. If you don't address sharp scratches in the gelcoat, it tends to propagate, as shown in...

Thank you all for your replies. I think you've successfully talked me out of it. It was in great shape for what it was, but the juice...

I have never paddled one, but I went to look at one a few years ago and noticed how much flex there was in the hull and passed on it...

I had a 1985 Whisper (Gen1) in FG for a while. I still maintain, although I have no proof, I could paddle faster in it than my 1997...

Sold my last Royalex boat last year, the venerable Old Town Pack. Getting old sucks when you can't lift 35 pounds over your head...

I wish them luck, I do. I would have thought someplace like Florida would have been a better choice, though, given the demographics and...

I have had 4 Swift Canoes and 3 kayaks in either Kevlar or Carbon Fusion over the years, and as much as I value the quality of their...

Just a follow-up shout-out for Hornbeck. I ordered a new seat from them; came in two days, all necessary hardware, explicit...

Finally got my first paddle in today, shortened slightly by the limited available liquid H2O. NY's Finger Lake region can be iffy this...

I have had a couple of all carbon boats, including a GRB Rambler. I do recall several times where I nearly burnt my hand on the hull...

That's funny, because I sold the Sojourn and kept the Solo 14. The Sojourn is a great flat water solo, but I couldn't justify the...

I wish I had kept my Solo 14; when I bought it she was fully outfitted for WW. Turned well enough for as little rocker as it had. Had...

I guess I live on the edge. I seldom wear life jackets, and I can't imagine wearing a helmet, unless I was on my quad.
