Well.... My Dagger Caption took a significant flight and has a crack, all the way through in a couple of spots. No loose pieces or "holes." Crack runs from where thwart connected down to about halfway across the bottom. Across the boat, not length ways. I may try tonight to get a pic on here.

So question??? Is this repairable? Not advised?

Good news!!! My glue seat job in held!!! I had just got this boat from Weshark to tandem with my 11 year old. We were ready to give her a try. It was on the porch of my recently tornadoed living room.

Clif, when you post some pics of it then it will be easier to advise you on it. Just off hand, I would think that you could repair it and use it on easier waters (Buffalo, Cadron, etc.) without too much worry.

Let us know if you need any assistance on clean-up days when the weather breaks. Glad it was not any worse!

Clif, there are several guys on http://cboats.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; who can give you very specific in depth advice, including best materials to use, how to use them, etc. for getting that boat back into fighting shape. There are also a few on http://www.paddling.net/message/who" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; can do the same. There's one gentleman in particular I have in mind and I'll send you his email address. Best of luck with everything.
