Re: Minicell Foam Adhesive?
My go-to has been "red can" DAP / Weld wood contact cement, most often from my local ACE hardware.

Tomahawk C2 and Wildwater C1 for sale
I've decided it is time to move on a few boats that are not part of the core CBoats collection (race boats I don't seem to paddle any more). -Upstream Edge Tomahawk C2 - nice and light, I"m pretty sure Kevlar in the hull and it definitely has a foam core deck. Center cockpits, but originally set up ...

Re: gluing vinyl d ring patches to royalex
Another tip taught to me be Zack at inflatable technologies in Denver(professional raft repair guy) is to use a grinding stone on a dremmel to scuff your spot. I don't have a dremmel so I use an air grinder. The stone is a 1 inch cone looking thing and I only use the side of the cone. I got mine at ...

Re: Wildwater Boat
I have paddled three different types of single bladed boats in the ocean, including a wildwater C1, and you would have to be hard up to pick a wildwater c1 for any appreciable ocean paddling. There are two other types of viable options. 1. A sea canoe - there are myriad types - Verlen Kruger related...

Re: Wildwater Boat
Height, weight and balance will be big issues. In my opinion (as one of the best mediocre c-1's I know :)) all of the modern designs based on the Bala are narrow, tippy and have a high bow deck, which sounds like it would be challenging in the ocean. The Tiptop, made over here by Dagger and Valley M...

Re: Zet Raptor C1 conversion
I'm using a Level Six Ace kayak deck on all ZET C1 models (the DirectorC1 is my primary boat), and each boat has about an extra inch added to it's saddleback. The tunnel offset isn't out enough to concern me. It's challenging to get on, but it's dry and stays put. I went with the level six because i...

Re: Vinyl Adhesive
If you have an Ace Hardware near you, then they should have this. It IS Vynabond. I've used it several times. http://www.acehardware.com/product/inde ... Id=1381659" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: What is the most difficult CBoat you've ever paddled?
I'll go with ACE III as well. I never could stay upright in that boat for very long.
I was just fine in a few other Wildwater boats, but not that one...
I built an extrabat that was over cut for my weight - edges were in the water sitting still... there really in no need for a 13'2" Squirt boat

Re: What is the most difficult CBoat you've ever paddled?
That's what you get for paddling a squirt boat at a weight exceeding the cut;)
Well, except for the Demo Maven. You aren't heavy enough for that one!
I my old ACE III resurfaces try it out... or drop by and try the Oxygen;)

Re: What is the most difficult CBoat you've ever paddled?
Running a single Class II rapid in the Maven. Got off water feeling like I had a 6 hr work out. I think the O2 would be just as hard. As for the ACE - never been in it so I take your word on that one Adam.

What is the most difficult CBoat you've ever paddled?
I admit... my used Ace III was by far the most difficult for me... even the Oxygen (and Maven) are easier.
That said, some of the problem may have been the flexing hull. I have a Bala (also a WildWater boat) that is far less terrifying.

Re: Tow tether suggestions.
Jim, - I recognise the use of a tether for easy access to a broached paddler. On the other hand, if he's broached, would a carab on the shoulder strap be much worse? I know that's not releasable, but not releasable versus not able to breath? - self belay, true again, but if you carry a pre-knotted s...

Go for it. Should be squirty and wave-wheely. Fun with eddy lines! Might be pearly on waves?

Ace 4.7 as first C boat?
I've been wanting to convert a boat for my first C1 for a while now. I have an old Ace 4.7 sitting in the garage collecting dust, and I've been toying with the idea of making it my first project. Now, I know there are a lot better boats to convert, but this one is in my price range. My question is w...
