Nova Craft Ocoee

Rebrand of a classic Dagger OC1. Brand new condition. Royalex hull. Fully outfitted.

Mohawk Maxim

Brand new condition. An early, short length/high performance OC1 playboat. Royalex hull. Full factory outfitting. Probably not many of these out there. That hard chined/planing-style hull can be a bit squirrelly when "goin' with the flow", requiring constant attention. Fun surf boat when some swift water under it, though. Spins on a dime. That's all we've ever done with it. Best suited for a lighter paddler (maybe <180lbs) our opinion having paddled it.

Dagger 'Pegasus' Kayaks, Sit-On-Top

Excellent condition. Pretty fun. Performed well on Lower Yough runs at Class III levels (say max. 3ft OPG). Also multiple local creek runs. A good introduction boat for aspiring WW kayakers. Surfs well, too. Good boat to have when the only alternative partner for the day is a coerced, boatless, never paddled or seldom paddler. 

Liquid Logic 'Coupe' Kayak, Sit-On-Top

Brand new condition. Bought it brand new with the intent to convert to a photography boat with some alterations we had in mind. Another project that got put along the wayside and never started. Fun. Surfed it a few times at the local Class II play spot. That soft hull will hold an edge, for a sit-on-top. Has a mechanical, lever actuated "drop down" skeg that you can engage for the flats which holds a track very well.

NRS Adventurer SUP

Those two 'Adventurer' SUP's are nine years old. Both developed an air leak (maybe 1" length delamination) in the seam last season. We repaired 'em both with 'StaBond' adhesive and are as good as new. We decided to replace 'em with new boards regardless as we tend to paddle a bit remote locations with long swims involved for return with a damaged board. We've had several inflatable boats over the years (rafts, kayaks, now SUPs) and it's our experience that after around 8 to 10 years of "normal" use to expect issues with glued seams. The 'Big Earl' board had one (maybe two as we recall) minor seam leaks that required only small patches. Otherwise, no punctures nor tears in all - just the usual minor scuffs.

Those BPM float bags are far and away the best bags out there. Halkey-Roberts style air valves - no "beach ball" valves of old. We got that set a few years back from a semi-local guy who was to deliver 36" bags. Never unpackaged them to check before the two hour drive back home after meeting him half way to pick them up. Discovered 60" bags after opening the box. Figured f*k it - was a hassle dealing just to get those. Lesson learned. They're brand new and never used - just have had no current use for 'em. We later found out those bags are manufactured in Britain by 'BPM Whitewater'. We since only deal with them directly. Best float bags and great service. We also discovered that the local guy marked the bags up 2X in price.

Contact if interested. Available for pick up here at the sanctum sanctorum. If reasonable distance we can travel to meet ya' somewhere along the road. We'll (eventually) post these locally on 'Craig's List' as well.

MRE16 - Part II

 We added a high performance modification to the Explorer 16...

... installed a 650HP, high torque inboard

Back To Basics Part II: River Trails

Returned to an old local training route (one of several) we used to frequently paddle years back when striving to master moving water canoeing basics. Probably seventy-five percent of our paddling was upriver over low volume flows sporting usually taxing class I turbulence and class II to II+ waves, drops and holes. The prior tackled alternately head-on and through a combined series of switchback ferries and eddy hopping. The latter always and easily by-passed by tracking or lining upriver along the shoreline shoals - while being fun play spots for practicing tight eddy turns and surfing on the downriver return. Was great training for solving the geometry of an open, rockered whitewater boat. And ya' just need your shorts, shoes, boat and paddle (and mandatory PFD  now'days, which can be stowed).

A bit of fun two to three hour workout and only minutes from the front door. Out and back. No shuttle necessary. 

Upstream ≈ 1 mile. Downstream ≈ 1.7 mile. Say 2.7 miles round trip. Flatwater up to class II whitewater.

Best to tote along a sturdy old 'Carlisle' aluminum shaft/plastic blade raft paddle. Usually a bit of "paddle poling" involved on the shallow upriver. Is a useful walking stick for the tracking sections as well. Saves some wear and tear on the more expensive wooden or composite  paddles.

No fifteen foot waterfalls nor long, desperate class V drops involved. Usually just hard work. Would probably seem pretty lame to most.

No fun to be had here
