my canoes voyage to valhalla

[hazardharry]

she was leaking real bad at zoar gap. funny hearing the auto-bilge run every couple minutes and pumpm out 10 to 15 gallons. had a wicked good time at the dryway too. https://youtu.be/O-jn9lJ1ByI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How do people dispose of composite hulls? I have a 75 pound, 18.5 hull with no gunwales that I need to get rid of.

[JimW]

Composite (assuming we mean resin matrix with some kind of fibre reinforcement) isn't very recyclable. most people just sell old composite boats on, there is always someone starting out who can make use of a boat no matter how outdated it is or how much restoration is needed.... Alternatively there are always mugs...

pumped a $2.25 tube of smelly black tar like roof sealent in between the shattered layers. should stop the leaks.

art? f@#$ art. two 17 mile runs down the dead river this weekend. first run was a beater at 3500cfs with roofing tar keeping out the water from below. it did not last. finished that run with one of my pumps running all the way into town trying to keep up. it wore down the voltage to the lowest ever. at camp i used some super sticky construction tape for sealing out ice dams and good old gorrilla tape,recharged the battery and had a few brews. my second run was flawless at 2400cfs and it was the driest my canoe has been in a couple weeks. so keep some tape in your kit if you beat your boat.

dam dude? When do you get your Octane?

[hazardharry]

when i cools off from molding? in a couple of few weeks i suppose. no rush yet my boat is still afloat. heading to the dryway sunday to stress her bottom out...look for camp hazard if you come up.

That thing needs a shotgun blast.

Get a new sponsor.

yup after a couple dryway runs this past weekend my beloved ME is all but finished as my main boat. picking up my new OCtane91 tonight. not going to be an easy transition. looking forward to swims again. need to pimp her out first though...

[magicmike]

Let's see the new Octane.

[hazardharry]

you would'nt want to see her this way. i took it all apart to pimp a pump and carve me some room. has anyone cut off and moved forward the thigh hooks?

[magicmike]

Brother, Unless you are a giant, you should be able to carve away plenty for a good fit. I'm a short 220 and barely had to cut away anything. Less is more.-M-
