You’re going to love it. Congratulations.

The Blacklite layup is plenty rigid but if you are going to run rivers with class 2 or higher I would opt for IXP.

I paddle a Northstar Trillium pack in Blacklite E6 and it is a very comfortable/stable boat to paddle. I mainly day trip and found that when I went from a 230 cm to a 250 cm paddle it was a substantial gain in speed.

43 degrees today, feels more like Easter. Merry Christmas everyone.

Forgot about the Phoenix, more rocker and payload capacity should be a good river/stream boat.

How about a Northstar Trillium in IXP layup, 38 lbs., they also have an adjustable seat that adds 3 lbs..

I just leave my key fob on top of my wallet in a drawer. Shouldn’t drive your car without you drivers license and some cash/credit card. When I paddle the key fob goes into my dry bag.

Taylor Coach will make rear door travel trailers. If you go to videos, they have a video of a 17’ model with a rear door.

Six Moons Designs makes some interesting ultra light shelters with bug protection.

Absolutely beautiful work.

I have always used a Bag Lady canoe cover on my canoes. Red Leaf Design makes a beautiful cover, that’s what I cover my Blacklite Northstar Trillium with. I always towel dry my boat off before I cover it, toweling it off also makes sure there is no sand/dirt on the boat before covering it.

A pack canoe would be a better choice. You sit low in the boat, like a kayak, you can carry gear, pets, etc. with greater accessibility, very efficient with either a double or single blade paddle and much lighter than a solo canoe or kayak.

Keep them coming.;)

I made my spreader bars out of plastic conduit that I purchased at the local hardware store. Cut them to length and thread your strapping, rope, etc. through them and mount to the rafters, I used eye bolts.

I can’t believe with over 2,000 subscribers that it is taking this long for people to step up. This forum has no advertising popping up and it’s purely about canoeing.

Glenn, the check is in the mail. Thanks for providing such a great site.

Take a look at a Northstar canoe in IXP layup or a Souris River canoe in their whitewater layup.

I like both the Bacho Laplander and the Silky saws.

I also have a Northstar Trillium pack version and it is a great canoe.

Go to etrailer.com and input you truck information and they will have several front receivers, the also offer roof rack and goal post for you truck. That is the best way to carry a canoe while towing your 5th wheel trailer.
