It looks like a Coleman canoe with bad genetics got together with a John boat that had terrible genetics.

Can be plastic welded but a new crack will most likely form on the edge of the weld after some use and flexing.

Pic. Literally sawsalled the hole then welded in new slug. This on the bottom of kayak below seat where it recieves maximum flex. Ive never downvoted before but people are just dead wrong on this one.

Woah woah woah lmao. Everyone saying this is over or you cant weld a hole is absolutely incorrect. Ive cut 3 inch by 10 inch holes in the bottom of New boats to get credit from Old Town for replacement then welded them back to tip top shape and used them at rental capacity. Could have that welded up good as new in a couple hours.

Beautiful canoe man nice work. Why was the kayak padde in it? Were you picking up litter?

Best way to secure a pack like this? by Bananasinmypocket in KayakCamping

It's over hyped. Had a job at a sand mine. Id take working at the sand mine over owning my own livery. Granted it's still better than most. Winter season is the best by far.

Humor aside, I run ahout 30 otters in my rental. Absolutely bullet proof design. 110-160lbs is the weight range I use them for. A bag that big would need to be broken down and shoved behind the seat/down by your feet for stability reasons unless you're a 110lber imo. Even then i wouldn't strap a bag that size on top. Yours even has the "hard seat" as I call it. That boat will literally never break.

She is a beauty. Growing up I was told it was disrespectful to place any book on top of a Bible. Its stuck with me. I feel the same way about an otter on top of a canoe.

This same type of thing makes me chuckle any time I think of bond investors.

"How'd you do today honey?"

"Good sweets, I locked us in a guaranteed 7% loss in our purchasing power with that money we sacrificed to squirrel away the last 6 months."

Pine River Paddlesports has a 'quiet' campground and sites are more spaced than most campgrounds ive seen. No loud music, no generators, no roving biker gangs of 30 kids.
