Re: Reasons no one open boats anymore

A lady at Canoe School (yes,Canoe School) asked my why we open boaters do'nt use kayak paddles since it would be easier.I replied"If we wanted it to be easier we would paddle kayaks."

Re: Illinois River Incident - 6/17/2014

It is so sad when people learn the risks of playing in moving water just before they die,you just have to think about how many lives you(we) have saved through education. Hopefully this will be a learning experience.I would'nt want this to ever happen again.Anywhere. My condolences to the family,to ...

Re: Last Royalex Boat; What Would It Be and Why?

My Outrage still suprises me sometimes(decides it's time for an unexpected swim)but it's a good dry manuverable boat and would have to be my favorite for it's intended use. I bought my first brand new canoe last fall after hearing of the end of Royalex production.It's an Argosy 14' for quiet water b...

Re: Boat storage ?

I have one in the loft,one in the storage building out back,one in the back yard on the ground and one on the floor in my storage unit.

Re: Buffalo Canoe - What year was it made?

ON my serial number the last 4 digits are etched in. Like, by hand with a sharp tool. The first 8 are etched by a machine. My last 4 are D808. Hope this helps. I literally had to take a picture with my phone and use the flash to see it. Look closer. Same here but I already had a photo stored in my ...

Re: Buffalo Canoe - What year was it made?

Wow,that dose'nt look much like my '99 model Buffalo,mine has aluminun square tubing gunnels.I have some delamination but it was a livery boat from Turner Bend. The curing process would explain why my brand new Wenonah Argosy seems to gouge so easily,I did'nt even realize I was damaging the boat unt...
