Actually, I've never sold a kayak. I've given a few away, and I've had a couple stolen. I was just trying to speculate as to what it was these more anal types were so concerned about with their boats. And just what qualifies as "PROPERLY" caring for your boat? I crash my boat into rocks, and bang it against docks, and drag it along the beach. Hell, I use my boat for teaching classes! Sure, I could use the company's boats, but why would I want to? Whatever damage I do to my boat, I'm sure I can fix. > > My Eddyline is a '93. Red deck, scratches galore - newly re-gelcoated > hull....I still get compliments EVERYTIME I take it out.... Good for you! I've never even bothered to remove the black type from the PVC pipe I used to make the grab loops. I'm not looking for compliments. I'm more interested in performance and being able to enjoy the sport without having to base my decisions on whether or not I might get a scratch in my boat. I guess this is a classic case of different strokes for different folks :-) Scott So.Cal. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
