I have 3 boats in RX OT Camper, OT Penobscot 186 and a Mohawk Odyssey 14. Need that plastic to absorb the hits since I'm paying more attention to the river banks instead of what is in front of me.

From Rec's pics you may be surprised by how much your boat will hold even with the dog. With spring around the corner time to get the gear out to see what fits and then schedule some short trips. I see that is the only real way to know. That is why I drove to Madison 2x and to WPA from...

I am a maybe at this time.

That is a nice find for $240. I would look for a used paddle and then spend $$ on a nice life jacket that fits well.

Do we have a price for these 2 new swift boats? And will Rutabaga have a Swift demo day like last year? Seeing the boats at Canoecopia is one thing but being able to test paddle brings it to another level.

A good canoe/kayak shop usually offers lessons during the paddling season. See if you have one close to you and sign up

You can always unload the NW solo if you don't like it. Heck buy both and unload the one you don't like.

Only one canoe seen on Brushy Creek today and that was mine. Fishing kayaks, SOT, plastic kayak and even a few inflatable pool toys seen. In the second pic pool toys are in the far distance. In the third pic from the dam there are 2 kayaks in the far distance. It was the maiden voyage...

Thanks for putting this nice trip report together. The effort is appreciated.

I don't think shipping is too expensive for a paddle...maybe to FL yes it is? I use a BB arrow.

If looking for new bending branches makes a decent paddle as well as many others. https://bendingbranches.com/collections/straight-shaft Search FB marketplace. Like others have said you can find nice paddles for half the price. Also search ZRE for carbon fiber paddles.

I think his name was Matt and he helped me alot, along with Steve, getting in and out of their boats at WPASCR.

Won't you get tired of eating basically the same thing day after day? I know there are different flavors but essentially all the same texture. No beans for around the campfire?

That is good to hear. I would like to see it around to have another choice when making a purchase.

I wonder what the buy out or buy in $$$ would be? Operation costs? I told Dave congratulations on his retirement last Saturday and he said "Not yet". Can't believe there are no takers. I am burned out at the moment and have been daydreaming but there are no boat building skills in these...

Here are the boats I paddled; eaglet, srt, peregrine, illusion, harmony, blackwater 15, impulse 14, rockstar, yellowstone solo and NW solo. My favorites from the bunch were the peregrine, illusion, harmony and rockstar. These are the boats I paddled 2x. What did I like about them? With 2 to...

Thoroughly enjoyed the event even though it was a lot of driving to get there. Paddled 10 boats in total with some of them being paddled twice. Some boats that I paddled were not on my list but they are now with an asterisk. I came close to falling in once. The platform was 1ft square, not...

I don't plan on falling in. ;)

For a first timer...Do you launch boats from a ramp/dock or wet entry/exit?

BF, All of the seats in the 3 Swift boats I demo'd were exactly like what you described. It was like I was sitting on just a wood frame no webbing. Is the webbing not tight enough?
