The following may not solve Chuck Holst's problem, either, but it is a route to a possible manufacturer: Last March I did a 4-day trip on the Green River in Utah, which has regs similar to the area Chuck wants to tour. Our outfitter (drop off and jet boat pickup) rented us a really bombproof unit fabricated entirely of marine grade aluminum. It appeared to be of commercial fabrication, but was too large for the hatch Chuck describes. The outfitter was Tag-A-Long <tagalong2_at_tagalong.com> Also, my family owns a precision machine shop in the San Diego area, and I 'spect my brother Jon could make a custom one for Chuck to fit down the smallish hatch in his sea kayak, but it would cost plenty, as a one-of-a-kind. If there is sufficient interest, I will ask brother Jon what the cost would be for each unit if he made 20 of them. Being my brother, he would probably give us a good price. And, he would have bragging rights for making the fanciest poop holder on the planet! <g> Chuck: here is brother Jon's work email: Jon Kruger <jkruger_at_adnc.com> -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Oct 24 1999 - 17:39:57 PDT
