I see a lot of boats like this and I wonder how much they really get
used. If you REALLY use a boat, it will get lots of dings and scrapes
and would ruin a boat like that. I'd have to say this is a poor
choice for a real boat but a good choice for a virtual boater.
The cedar canoe was aesthetically pleasing. Also, if you are paddling
around in the right sorts of waters, with no rocks or rapids, a cedar
strip canoe is great fun.
I have a plastic canoe. It has zero aesthetic appeal, but it is tough
enough for the bumps and scrapes of the Shenandoah River, where we paddle.
Trashy looking boats that have been abused seem to have lots of appeal
for you and Loogy the Braindead. To each his own.
Probably cuz it means we use our boats. Lemme see, 46 yr old Grumman
canoe, all sorts of nicks and dings and I know the origin of most of
em. The bent thwart is from when my mother decapitated a water
moccassin right next to me with the paddle when I was 6. Welded spot
is from where it was sunk under a log on the Alapaha River, all the
bottom scrapes are from "Look and Tremble" shoals on the Chipola
River, etc...
Uh, no. It means one of us is careful about our gear and the other
isn't. My canoe is pretty scratched up on the bottom because of the
rocky rapids we shoot on the river. Otherwise, though, it looks ok.- Hide quoted text -

Pffttt. what river do you "shoot rapids"??? snerk Now he is
shooting the rapids, next he will be telling us about his latest
marathon adventure.. :)


I've been canoeing on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River for years.
Stage I and Stage II, mostly. Enough excitement for a canoer like me.
Very dependent on level of water and flow.

And Google well Harry, I have friends who actually paddle in your
area. Shoot the rapids, LOL... So, what rivers do you shoot? What
parts, during what season? And before you answer, remember the ratings
standards have changed recently so I will know if you are full of
****, as if I need to ask snerk. Oh, crap, you don't shoot any
rapids, I doubt you even know the first thing about paddling....
Poser...

LOL. Most places east of the Rockies I thought they just called
"shooting the rapids" "paddle a little faster."

Our spot is out in Bentonville along the Shenandoah's South Fork. I and
II rapids, enough for me.

I don't canoe there, but the rapids around Great Falls, Va., would be
enough to send you home crying, if you survived.

That was good Vic. However, the T-shirt I see goes "Paddle faster, I
hear banjo music"
Our old Grumman canoe did very well, survived 9 kids and numerous dogs
for 46 years and is still going strong.

You can tell by the way the river meanders in that area that it's going to
be a 'wild and wooly' ride, huh Harry?

He has never paddled there, that's why he only answered part of the
question and turned to his usual uninformed mis-direction.

What's the big attraction over there? It's about a 75 mile drive from

Very dependent on level of water and flow.

Sure. What time of year is the flow good, are there any closed seasons
or times, what is a strainer, where do you clip your lariat? Quick
Harry show us another generic answer like "Very dependent on level of
water and flow", you don't paddle... Hey, maybe you can show us a pic
you took while paddling.. I know, you can't paddle and shoot at the
same time.. Funny, I can, have lot's of photos... and they are all
mine.. You are a ****ing poser..
