Maybe try something like a Whip-it, Sparc, or Super Sport. They're narrow but have a flattish hull and are in the 9-10' range. And they seem to go pretty cheap these days.

Looks like I'm in for the weekend.

Who's paddling Friday, and where?

Glass boats, giant paddles, nylon skirts, and still making it look easy.

Bolt through the strap is plenty strong. Double the end over & put a washer on it. It will not likely tear out.

That said, it's not a bad boat and much less barge-like than the similar 13-14 foot boats that were around at the time. I was about 160# at the time, I found it a l...

Can you start giving advice to us other dads-with-toddlers on how you get 90 days on the river!!? Since I've had 2 kids (4 and 2), I'd seriously be lucky to get 9 days! I could live with once a month, but can't seem to make it happen. So, you've got it good - I don't even remember which boats need ...

Minimize the amount of clothing bunched up behind your knees. If the front of your saddle is square, cut off the corners- the points can press on your inner thigh and reduce blood flow to your lower legs. Rolling helps too, it takes the weight off your knees momentarily and tends to bring your lower...
