Will they work as well? Yes, they do. The ability to slide the boat on makes them great for taller vehicles. They also bend to conform to the shape of the hull and give good support. I've used them for a couple of years and have friends who have been using them even longer. I just did a quick search and noticed they now have a picture and info on the web at http://www.marcosaddles.com Frank usual disclaimer: No connection with the company, I'm just a satisfied customer. *************************************************************************** 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 Wed Apr 12 2000 - 11:12:31 PDT
