Maybe something like that pictured in this thread for adjustable outfitting.

Have never paddled a Vertige but have owned a Mad River Caption for about 5 years and love it. Have tripped in it, paddled it tandem and solo, and much prefer paddling it to my LEdge. Bought the Caption and LEdge both new from the same dealer and the MR boat was definitely easier to bring in than an...

Barely used Esquif L'Edge solo whitewater canoe. Open-wood gunnel version. It was paddled a few day trips on CII/CIII rivers and other than that has been hanging in the rafters of my garage for most of its life. Asking $1500. Boat is in Edmonton area. May be able to assist with local delivery, but n...

Kind of stopped advertising this over the winter, but still have it for sale at same price. Winter is fast coming to a close and local rivers will soon be flowing again. It may be time for you to start thinking of buying another WW solo canoe. If you live in western Canada, this barely used L'Edge m...

Selling my open L'Edge with factory wood gunnels. Have had for a couple years and am a Cii/Ciii boater and have never been able to paddle it enough to get comfortable in it. Stored indoors. Is in near new condition. Firm at $1500. Could discuss local delivery but will not ship. PM me if interested. ...

enjoyed your video Cheeks. Looks like you need to keep working on your tandem roll.

This topic was previously discussed in: https://cboats.net/cforum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7963943 I did use a similar setup when I bought my Caption about 5-6 yrs ago. Has worked great and allowed the boat to be quickly setup for tandem or solo paddling. Here is a picture shortly after it was outfitted,...

How hard would it be to do a "barrel roll" in that thing?

We realize many folks are looking here for information, and add this to the thread.

I have a two piece dry top / dry pants combo. My dry pants have the fitted socks. When you swim, the seam leaks between the dry top and pants. Not too much, but enough to be wet and cold. Plus you have no way of getting the water out of your pants without taking them off. At least with the latex gas...

Bought an Evergreen Starburst a couple years back (new) and outfitted it with airbags, end cages, thigh straps, and foam knee pads for whitewater tripping. With outfitting, the canoe probably cost close to $2200. Very first day we ever had it in the water my 14 and 16 yr old sons wrapped it around a...

Bought all three of my current canoes without having paddled any of them:

Evergreen Starburst
Mad River Caption
Esquif L'Edge

Of these three, the L'Edge has been most challenging for me as I had never paddled a short solo ww canoe prior to that purchase.

In my Caption, I don't use a centre airbag. However, I will often tie a dry bag or two between the front and rear paddlers, or alternatively, even a 60L barrel or a cooler. It is all floatation, and you never know when a cool one will be needed.

Use eight grommets and you could hook six at gunwale level, leaving two end ones to go to d-rings on bottom. ((Not that I've eve...
