I always meant to do that... but didn't. Not sure if I like the idea of different flex rate under the wall of a square piece of plastic. I did remove the plastic pipe that came in the hole, since there is no reason to need that in there.

Any pictures?

I put a 3 inch round tube in that location. It takes time with the saddle in place but doable. I use a knife. Once 3 inches of foam has been carved there is a Dewalt adapter you can buy to attach a hole saw for right angle use.

Got one. Really like it. The tube to transfer water from side to side through the bulkhead is very small. 1.25" inside diameter As I recall, a suggested mod in the old days was to replace that with a 4 or 5" square chunk of plastic eavestrough downpipe. Any comments or suggestions? I assume the smal...

Does the boat come with saddle, leg bracing, air bags with lacing and straps?

Serious inquiry here.

$600.00 ? Any takers?

Greetings, I have a yellow Esquif L’Edge for sale. I paid $650.00 for it this summer. I had envisioned myself floating every day but I haven’t put it in the water once. I’m looking to get my 650 back for it. I’m located on the Jersey Shore. 609-713-9887. No cracks or welds

... and not the actual waterline boat width; boats with some tumblehome will be easy for cross strokes. Another boat to toss in to the mix is a L'Edge or L'Edge Light if you can find one. I'm primarily a decked boater, but paddled one in Costa Rica a few years back and had a blast (at that point ...

... than a royalex boat, it is not possible to build boats with a weight of 30 kg, too heavy to carry and handle. I have handle an old version of edge, incredible heavy and I'm not an light man, but I think that the history of canoe production will teach, if Dagger Mad river and Mohwak was building ...

... In terms of paddler size the Agent seems to nicely fill the gap between the Octane 91 and the several smaller short plastic boats available: L Edge / Option / Octane 85 / Covert 9.3. Agent 88 gunnel to gunnel stability seems quite similar to the Viper 12 and a look at midship hull profile and ...

... Thanks for the comment. It helps to hear from others in the same weight class who are actually paddling one of the boats. I do consider the L'Edge a possibility, but also checking around to see what's new since where I am I've never laid eyes on a Silverbirch or Millbrook, and the Condor is ...

Pat, I've got a 9.3 and I'm pushing 230. No issues handling the weight. I moved to this from a L'edge also carries the heft.

... paddler, for a long time it seemed there were no new boats for us (no thanks Prelude, Zoom, Spark, Option, etc.). Now I'm trying to compare the L'Edge & Octane 91 with Silverbirch's Rebel and Covert 10.5, Blackfly's Condor, and today I hear Esquif has a new T-Formex boat for larger paddlers, the ...

... Rebel are more comparable in size. I'm about 230 lbs, and I find my Ocoee doesn't keep me upright in places where a modern big-boy boat like a L'Edge, Octane 91, Condor... Rebel?, Covert 10.5? might. I found the Octane 91 too stable though, and would like something that is a little more nimble ...

L 'Edge, Blackfly, Silverbirch all seem to put some kind of foam side panel in their cockpits. Not so much in strap-outfitted boats. I'm assuming the reason is extra buoyancy; is there more to it?
