Wow! I just wanted a rain suit..... Kelvin

Thanks for the info. First of all, I am in Florida and all I want to do is keep the water that drips off the paddle away from my body. It wasn't too long ago that several Army Rangers perished due to Hypethermia just a couple of miles behind my house. I truly understand the dangers and am...

Well, my employees surprised me with a Gore-Tex suit as my Christmas present. Used it Saturday and I can't believe I didn't buy one years ago. Thanks for all the input. Kelvin

You are correct that the Tilley hat wont keep you all that warm, but sometimes you just got to look good to be good! Everything is a sacrifice. Kelvin

Thanks for all the input. I always wear my PFD and my Tilly Hat. The hat floats better than I do! I have been looking at the Gore-Tex at Bass Pro and since it's Christmas, what a better time! Winter fishing to me is the best! Very few boats in the water and loads of fish if you know where...

Now that is colder, I want to fish on Lake Talquin but are trying to figure out how to stay warm and dry. Any suggestions? I have read that wearing waider is dangerous if you tip over and the same for rain suits. Any truth to this? Kelvin

Well, I will try your suggestions. I'll wipe her down good, give her a good sanding and apply another coat of Flagship Z Spar Varnish. At $32 per quart, I hope this is not a regular thing. I do have to mention that I have used this boat quite a bit this summer so I probably shouldn't complain...

I posted this on the wrong section, so I will try again. my varnish is peeling off and can't figure out why. I sanded it lightly prior to putting it on and after just four months its coming off everywhere. Any suggestions? Kelvin

Thanks for the replies. That cart is exactly what Im looking for! Kelvin

Well I finished the pirogue and have abused it beyond all expectations. It has become a deadly speckeled trout machine! Unfortunately getting it to the water has about wore this old body apart! I now have a pinched nerve on my neck and can't lift the thing all the way to the water. I have...

Thanks for all the kind words.... Looking forward to meeting yall in a river sometime soon!

I think the final weight will be around 60 lbs...... It's at 48 right now and we will see what the fiberglass will add. Either way, she will float ( I hope!) We are real proud of this boat and the neighbors are driving us nuts wanting to look at her.......

Well, not finished yet but ready to start glassing!
