Boats...the way they are supposed to be built!
Harry, because of modern technology, there are many methods and
materials for building things than ever before. Should we really stick
our heads in the sand and not learn anything newer and better than
what was available previously?
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

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...

The funny thing is that all I've ever claimed to be canoes is an
occasional recreational canoeist. JustHateaMinute's rosetta stone
translates *that* into competitive canoeist.

It must be "interesting" going through life as he does, five cans short
of a six-pack.

Are you really a reporter for NAMBLA? Does Harry pay you?
