: I hate to say this, but I'm seriously thinking about a Tupperware kayak. They
: endure rocks and crunches well, are getting lighter, are cheap and
: maintenance free,Say it aint so Mike say it aint SO!!!!!!
When something does happen to puncture or abrade the hull tho, Ive heard the wood is a lot easier to repair - even in the field, or shore as it may be.
Unlike others, I don't collect kayaks, I just
: might get rid of the wood yak and all the ancillary crap and stick to
: paddling.Perhaps becasue you have traveled so much the portaging seems like a real pain in the ass. Dont get rid of your wood kayak tho man...really. What kind u have anyway? Again, I heard linear or superlinear polyethelene is a pain to repair when damage does occur, infrequent as it may be. I ALSO heard the hulls have a tendency to dry out and get brittle over time. I dont know the specific reasons here why, but did read in a book they have a limited life.
By the way, at 40,000 feet in an F-15 with N1 or N2 at about 95% what does that bird do?
