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
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.

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

snerk He shoots class two rapids, and still, can't google these
direct questions even the most casual class two paddler should know.
Pffftttt... Oh yeah, I can see it now.. Stuck in a strainer looking
for his blade to slash the lariat but he is busy making unclever
insults directed at the water
