Re: Octane 92

Hey, I've been wanting to ask that question too! It would be cool if you could do an outfitting mod to switch from solo to duo as needed. I've heard of people paddling the 92 solo but they were doing it with the standard outfitting. I'd like to have a 92 with the "option" of swapping in a solo saddl...

Re: Fix or paddle?

Roy, thanks again for being so helpful with your e-mails and posts! The idea of testing a patch on something first sounds like a good one.

Re: Fix or paddle?

OK, my plan is to drill into the delam area, fill with G-flex or maybe Gorilla, then lay some PE cloth and epoxy over the exposed ABS areas to beef them up. Is it cool to drill the holes and fill the void from the outside of the hull? It's so much easier to identify the area that needs filled and I ...

Re: Fix or paddle?

Thanks for the info Karl. I think I like the idea of using the G-Flex rather than the Gorilla glue for the de-lam.

Which is why I asked! Anyone have a link to a "How To" blog, video, etc., for the Gorilla Glue and PE cloth/Epoxy type repairs? I seem to be coming up short in my searches. Thx

Re: Fix or paddle?

It's being stored inside and I don't see it causing an issue with the outfitting. Thanks Jim

Fix or paddle?

I picked up a '93 Ocoee (my first WW canoe) and wonder if I should do any maintenance to have it ready for paddling. There's a fair (not excessive) amount of ABS showing on the hull and I've wondered if it would be a good idea to cover the exposed areas with an epoxy or something. My main concern th...

Re: skirt grab loop handle

What happens if you accidentally attached the skirt with the grab loop tucked inside? I always taught students how to deal with this and it's a good skill to have. The tightest part of the skirt is front to rear, so if you grab the skirt on the side of the cockpit rim, you can "usually" pull the ski...

Re: Question for the SOB's

Arkansas. Just trying to put together a short list of boats to try if I get a chance. Used boat choices are few around here, so it may take a while.

Question for the SOB's

Hello Short Open Boater's! I'm trying to research all I can about open boat options. I sorta been out of the boating scene for a few years, but I was a solid III+ kayaker then and I've been getting the bug to get back on the rivers. This time, I'm interested in OC1. I once paddled a friends Probe 12...
