Re: Kelly-Rand's Storm Chaser

Hi Jim, I've been wondering how the boat was treating you this summer. I'm glad that you seem to have finally found the right combination of things to keep you locked into the boat. We've recently added double straps to our blue demo boat to solve this issue for our demo customers. In addition, we h...

Re: Kelly-Rand's Storm Chaser

Jim, We've been thinking of developing something similar - something like a thwart (or multi curved piece contoured to your legs) that would glass into each side of the boat near the seam and installed up near the deck. You could then add foam below the "thwart" to create a custom fitting bulkhead. ...

Re: Kelly-Rand's Storm Chaser

Looks good Jim - glad you've gotten things adjusted and sounds like the single strap system is going to work for you - though I'm sure you'll want to test it out in whitewater. Just for other Storm Chaser owners/future owners, since the cockpit rim doesn't contact your thighs like in a slalom or oth...

Re: Kelly-Rand's Storm Chaser

Hey Jim, Yes some of our customers have added an extra set of straps just across the top of the knee-cups to keep the end of their knees down vs. doing a bulkhead (or similar). I wonder if moving the anchor locations up would be sufficient (for a single strap system) as I know the original anchors w...

Hey Mike, probably around 1-2 pm. Are you nearby? It might be easier to communicate via text as I'm about to get back on the road. 571-332-0109

We could even meet you at/near the UY for a bit on monday morning as we'll likely be staying in MD sunday night and coming by the Upper Yough on ...

Re: River Elf Road Trip

Hi Guys - we are running a little late getting out of town here in AL and will arrive in the western MD area on saturday afternoon instead of saturday morning.

Re: River Elf Storm Chaser M/L - blem - $1869

The installed seat in this boat is currently at 6" (we generally recommend 5-6 inches). I believe we've had one customer who outfitted around 7" with success. For reference, the depth at the back of the cockpit of the M/L is 10". The key is, the higher up you go the more you'll want to really lock y...
