There are many lakes where using one can be a real pleasure. I never recommended one for general use in areas where it might be subject to being banged up. Not nearly as "practical" as the newer materials. Plastic type canoes are lighter, therefore easier to load, unload, easier to maneuver, easier to maintain, easier to store, easier to buy. When and where would a strip or canvas canoe be "practical" compared to canoes made with newer materials? The problem, of course, is that this newsgroup is infested with assholes who look for something, anything, even in possibly interested on topic subjects, they can use to post their usual lowbrow insults. See above. If you are so nostalgic, why do you have a Parker when you could have an old wooden boat? Maybe even go back further to a dugout canoe, they are the REAL ones. We used to canoe when I was a kid on a couple of really nice Connecticut lakes. Lake Zoar was one of them. I have no recollection of banging up the Old Town cedar and canvas canoes we were using. This was well before the days of plastic canoes. There were plenty of aluminum canoes, of course, but jesus they were ugly. And noisy.- And of course, now the lies start. Maybe not. I think he's talking about the days when he was knee high to a grass hopper. His long term memory is kicking in big time now. Short term ain't so good. Ask him what he had for breakfast this morning, besides pustules? It seems sort of fitting that you play footsie with Loogy, the dumbest d.f. in here. Oh. I had oatmeal with fresh blueberries. Then I went to a meeting downtown. Now, I'm back home. This should help your stalking a bit, eh? Footsie? Do I detect a bit of jealousy? I see a little JimH rubbing off on you. Fresh blueberries? Probably from Venezuela. |
