It seems that Nova Craft has one already and thermoforms the Supernova the Mosie, and the most popular OC1 of all time the Ocoee out of their stuff called T-Formex. They also have an Innegra and basalt fiber (yes the rock basalt) layup called Tuffstuff which looks interesting. D Jackson had a playbo...

Excellent. Looking forward to the project completion. Some of us Tulsa area folks will come help out when the time comes.

Thanks. Have done that access many times in the past pre cookies.

Was wondering what the situation was at Fishers Ford. With the upcoming changes, where do you put in now. At the bridge, or elsewhere? Haven't been there for a while and interested.

Regarding boats, the Buffalo is a blue good choice and readily available from outfitters when they update fleets. The various Mohawk boats are good also.

I have both the X-tract D and Descent and have used them both. The X-tract fits very well and the rescue release is easy to get to and activate. The Descent fits ok and the pocket doesn't get in the way of x-strokes, but then I don't pack it up like a kangaroo either. The release is off-set on the c...

I have the Mohawk double strap in my Dagger Rival. I moved the setup back toward me from the directions and added some shims to the knee area. Easy to use, holds me in place during a roll, and positive escape for an exit. Have standard double strap setup in my other boat, good also but more stuff sw...

I made my own canoe cart out of old garden cart wheels, pvc pipe, and fittings. If you are handy, old lawn mower wheels are usable. From practical experience use only schedule 80 pvc. It is much stronger than the sched 40 pipe found at Lowes and Home Depot. A specialty or contractor store should hav...
