I just returned from a wonderful 20 days of paddling in the Ely and Rainy Lake area. While in and around Ely, the right sponson on my K1 blew. I brought the defective sponson to Piragis, (super outfit staffed with incredibly courteous and knowledgable people) after my attempts to glue failed miserably. They called Feathercraft in Vancouver who promised to send a new one by one day air - and sure enough, the next day at noon, there it was. NO charge! My point in telling this to paddlewise is to persuade those who might consider a Feathercraft but are reluctant because of cost, It might cost a little more up front, but if you need service, it'll be there at the highest level. Besides, if you travel to areas a little remote, it is really the only boat to have. Pack up and go! I have no financial interest in either Piragis or Feathercraft, but I sure wish I had! hans *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Aug 06 2000 - 14:56:56 PDT
