To all: those who keep sayin a Teaurea, Skeeter, Prelude, Quake, Spanish Fly, Aftershock, Super Fly ain't an open boat must suffer from the same problem as Milt and Long boat do. They are afraid they don't have the skill to get down the river in a boat shorter or smaller than your average coal barge. I do notice that those who keep bad mouthin the new boats don't even try a Zoom and I know one who has an Ocoee but you never see him in it.
It just suprises me that someone who promotes little tiney creek boats is alsoso critical skirt wearing Cboaters.
I use a float switch in my skeeter and it always leaves a little water left in it. Theyre also usually twice the price of a pump you have to get the switch for, and we single bladers are known to be cheap.
looie i don't paddle anything over 10' and i never said there was anything wrong with your skirtless c1. it's just not an open boat. heck, if you were a little more chubby you wouldn't need a skirt in that thing, just put a little putty around the old spare tire for a nice watertight seal.

I've paddled with kayakers who have enough belly that no skirt is needed. I call it a meat skirt.

Please show me one post where I have said a word about a person wearin a kilt. Dam Tony with ever over sensite Yankee on this board who can't a joke already piss because they don't realize if a southern ain't givin you hades he don't like you, aready up in arms don't get the Kilt wears thinkin I don't like them. If you can't find a post where a bad mouth a Kilt wearer please retract you statement about me bein critical about them.
Well if I am talkin about boatin it is all teasin and ribbin, because this is a hobby, it is fun, it is somethin to do two or three days a week ( year round down here). It is the rare man who can make a livin at boatin or boatin related stuff and still look at it this way. Even when I worked full time and feed a wife and a couple of kids, off of bein the maintenance manager at a canoe factory it was still a hobby, never has boatin been somethin that was less than fun. If it ever became that way, I'd quit.
One question, why wouldn't we want to piss off the Yankees, it not like we don't owe them for they did to us, beside it is a ball and so very easy to do. remember we talkin about people who chose to live somewhere where they have a boatin season.
I know you ain't goin to believe this but in one of the GDI Rehder videos from the late 80's early 90's we have a segment included in one where we do a snow seal launch on the Crooked fork just like that.
About the bidet comment isn't that a kayaker thing?
bidet just looked up the word and now I know why all the motel rooms in Mexico have two shitter in the bath rooms.
In Mexcio you take your wife to the Hotel but take your girlfriends to the motels. The Hotel have a guy park your car and your register at the from desk and people take your bags to the room.
At the motels you pull into the gargare beside your room The door shut automaticly and you pay by the hour in a blind lazy susan. You never see a person and no one ever see you. The motel has free xxx TV channels, mirrors on the celing and a dancin pole.
Kinda' pretty ain't it?
