    Vermilion River MN

    Anyone ever done this?!? Was up here this past weekend on a small trip to test some gear and a "new" shoulder. Lots of rain and horrible black flies so drove a bit to check out the Vermilion river. Completely out of my league to talk whitewater but had to post this as I cannot envision anyone...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    I agree this makes sense stevet but I could only use the arms as a guide for the cuts which worked great. If I were to use the holes as a template, they would've been off center on the arms and getting concerningly close to the edges. Or if I were to center the hole on one arm, the adjacent...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    Thanks Alan. Actually wanted to over-drill by twice that however upon chucking that bit it was bent and wobbled so horribly it would've drilled a 1/2" hole. I really never expected it all to go together without reaming out the holes further but I guess there was enough flex in everything as a...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    Nothing really crafty or complicated with this modification but sharing what I learned from doing this a second time around in case someone else wishes to tackle this. Take-Aways as follows... My first time-around I tried to use the truss-style hangers but struggled matching them up with...

    Concrete Canoe Photo

    It may have been only 10' long ;). I honestly know nothing further about it.

    Concrete Canoe Photo

    I mentioned this in a different post so following up on sharing the photo as a curiosity as really know nothing about it.

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    They are in & not refinished. Did add some Teak Oil to end grain where they were cut to fit. Looks goofy in my opinion but the finishing will come later as we committed ourselves to a small trip beginning Thurs so packing & planning already. Blech...I do want to match finishes a bit more.

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Ugggggh. May not get to the finishing today as ran into this snag. I do remember adjusting for this with my 1st set of replacement seats a few years back. I hope the hanger bolts have enough play to be able to drill through the center of the seat "arm". If I learn anything of relevance I may...

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Thanx scoutgriz for the lesson. I am going to print your explanation and post it on my shop wall as 3 years from now I may have yet another boat and need to revisit this all again having forgot. If today's concrete repair project goes as planned, tomorrow I will get to this. In tying together...

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Just read the entire can and no mention of water or oil or clean-up instructions. However due to all the health and flammability hazards no doubt it is oil based or possibly a volatile uranium isotope. Truth be told my fingerprints are all over the can and it took me the entire day to recall...

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Q: A: When it comes to finish compatibility/functionality, for my purpose I believe I can boil it down to the following...A urethane coating (be it oil or water based) is like a hard plastic-like shell; best/good for wood that does not flex like these seat frames. Obviously oils & stains...

    The Canoe Hump

    I will die happy if that ailment gets me.

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Copy that. I've always been under the impression oil will go over h20 but not vise versa. However the last time I went into ACE hardware for a project the paint lady told me the complete opposite. We battled egos for a few minutes while I searched the all-knowing google and found reason to...

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Sounds good to me as not really caring about the grain. It just looks to me like they came from IKEA and could use a bit of patina. No disrespect intended to Ed's as they are wonderful. I bet they would but was rushing this order through as the plan a few weeks ago was to be on a trip May 17th...

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Purchased my second set of Ed's Canoe contoured seats. The fist set (first photo) was installed a few years back on a different boat and at that time they spot-on matched the finish from a photo. Now they offer only clear satin spar urethane and can only get black webbing. Still love the seats...
