Kneal, the Loco will surely find it's way on the roof rack of my truck!

TGG!

... contamplating cutting the rim on my acrobat and opening the cocpit si that it has approximately the same shape as the one of the Galasport Loco. Go and get that boat chopped down. There will be smaller cust acrobats at the Cquirt for you to get an idea on what works for you. TGG!

Boat request to the "Great Gonzo". Are ya gonna bring your Loco? I'd like to take it down the NBP if you do.

... and pretty predictable. It would be nice to have one of them. ...and a Mentor ...and a Ceemweaver ...and a low-cut Acrobat ...and a slalom c-1 Loco ...and, well you get the idea :D Just tossing my 0.02 around to stimulate the economy KNeal

?Quien es este "Pinche Loco Gringo?

I agree about the race boats. I bought Isaac's old Loco last winter, and I am having a blast in it. I am not much of a racer, I have onlyentered one race at the Gull this year and got soundly beaten by 13 year olds... :roll: ... but I love it for ...

... have been offended by this report at all. Just my 02 cents. martin a.k.a. the great gonzo! PS: KNeal, glad that you made it back! I'll bring that Loco for you to try next time! Overall, the entire Canadian contingent that I paddled with, including all the first timers, had a great time on the ...

... by Davey Hearn at the same time, seem to be more forgiving for larger paddlers than many other designs. However, if could afford it, I would buy a Loco. I was only able to paddle one very briefly but liked the way that it handled and it is certainly the only short boat that comes close to being ...

All I know is what is posted on their web site, which is that the design weight range for the iMo is from 70-85 kilos (i.e. 154-187 lbs.). The Loco is listed as having a weight range from 80-90 kilos (i.e. 176-198 lbs.). It's my understanding that Robin Bell, the designer of both boats, weighs ...

... with iTOMCO to be sure, but, if so, you might also consider one of Robin Bell's designs for larger C-1 paddlers: The "iMo" or possibly a used "Loco" (his previous design). Both are "short" boats (under 4 meters) built by Galasport. John

yo, from another loco paddler... it's a big boat. if you are 170, you don't need to think of the loco as your only option, you are open to almost the whole vajda line, save the martikan... and every other boat there is basically... ...

... costs, and hassles. I have not yet talked with GalasportUSA, they are out of the country for the Olympics, but will contact them in September. The Loco sounds like the ideal boat for me, that's why the interest in Galasport. So, if you wouldn't mind disclosing some info it would be greatly appreciated. ...

Thanks for the info. I'm 6' and 170 so it sounds like the Loco is a pretty good choice, but I will also investigate the other boats mentioned. I like the idea of the Itomco boat made in Canada because of the possiblity of reduced shipping costs and it ...

I have been paddling a Loco for quite awhile now. Very nice and comfortable. Very stable and easy paddle. I have not seen an iMo yet which is the updated version of the Loco. I have let numerous beginners, novices and experts paddle ...

The Loco would be a good boat for your weight, what is your height? It was designed by Robin Bell and I believe it is the boat that he just got the bronze in at the games. He is a tall guy (maybe 6'2") and I bet weighs in around ...
