Looks good.

One suggestion: get shorter bolts before you impale yourself

B-1? er, sorry: OB-1...

I'm embarrassed to say, I was sitting at work the other day looking at a stack of blue barrels and having the same Idea.

I doubt that Discoveries are crosslink. They should be linear, and weldable. If anything has a chance of forming a strong bond, it would be G-flex, after flaming the poly surface. But I would look for a welder. You're right, my memory fails me... http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/craftsmanship/canoe_mate...

I believe the Discos are crosslink- not very weldable. I can't imagine that ABS goo will work, doubt it will stick at all. Some sort of epoxy repair is probably the only option, aside from duct tape.

Bev's Skeeter was the first one I remember seeing. I guess that would have been around 2000, maybe a bit earlier.

Now bob don't go dissin' the Gnarlz canoe. You have complete holes going on there. :D after the Gnarlz canoe got rebuilt she took runs on the green narrows and oceana...we all look forward to that new tandem being the second to descend Gorilla & Sunshine on the Green. Tommy's boat was an inspiratio...

Just a reflection from the camera flash.

Thanks again Bob, It really wasn't as bad as I imagined. I was sort of expecting something like the Gnarls' Detonator... Anyway, Several coats of goo and a wicked acetone induced headache later, the damaged bits in the chine are filled in. As are the cracks in the stern. Time to work on the big hole...

Hot Glue. Quick, easy, works really well on nylon.

About 75% ok, the other 25% needs a little work: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f231/BobAnnWarren/Cboats/092_zps0739a6e2.jpg Big hole in the stern, cracks about 2 feet long, chines a little buggered up. But the price was right :D The plan is for it to end up as a tandem. Total budget for the proj...

Allow me to muddy the waters further... How about the New River Gorge area?: something different Good camping Good food Scads of stuff to run from II-V+ within a 1hr radius. Dependable water New & Gauley tolerate large groups pretty well easier shuttle than the Cheat. Just another one to consider. O...

I vote for welded titanium.

Since we can't get Nova craft to make a 10 ft Ocoee, and other fun designs are held up, how 'bout giving us a 10' Viper?

lightweight, good chines, lower pricepoint than the plastic boats...

I thought that was the Rodeo? Though it lost a bit of the edge in the shortening process.

PM sent.

Just to hold a dry bag, you could glue down d-rings with weldwood (in the red can, of course...) and they will hold just fine.
