Next time I will start with something with a vin number though yeah, it was fun to restore - in fact I am working on another one now! I was told by passerbys that I never looked as cool as I when I was grinding metal off or welding. I thinks that’s a complement?

grawk Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Went and camped at the nantahala this weekend. The 2 harder sections that only run a couple times a year were running and water levels were about double normal, so it was something of an event. I got some video of Dane Jackson playing in the nantahala falls, and ran the river sunday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Here are a few of my projects modified a rigid floor inflatable boat to mount a helm. It’s a bit wobbly - as I just used a square hole washer with teeth and a bit of epoxy. I probably need to run a stringer underneath perpendicular to the two legs and tap a hole there. The issue is I can’t access underneath once the floor is in. So here I had to pull up on the carriage bolts as I tightened them. I also affixed a custom boat registration plate and affixed this Scotty holder to mount the solar powered throttle, wireless. That adhesive is pretty foul stuff, definitely get a nice contact high using it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 I cut down and then modified two pieces of galvanized steel to make a customized winch holder and bow rest - welded them together and painted over the galvanizing - going for a two tone look. Then mast cradle will fit in the channel and help keep the two pieces together. I guess I am literally watching paint dry at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Wonderful work. However, as a gay man, I have to say that everytime I scroll past the title of this thread, for a split second I'm expecting something completely different.

luvdunhill Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Here is how the above turned out in the end - black on the inside channels and blue on the outside.. now takes about 3 days to cure and then will bolt it on the trailer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Applied new numbers to a brand new sail! A bit tedious but turned out ok I think. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) So I never got around to installing an electrical system in my kayak before we decided to sell all of our kayaks. Therefore I have all of the stuff below to do that. I can send it to you for the cost of shipping, which may not be cheap because of the batteries.

swt61 Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 And, for what it's worth, Marble Slab ice cream actually uses granite slabs. I know, I was flabbergasted too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Made it onto the Ocoee this weekend. It was the "easy" section, and a short day, but still a good time. I'm going to try for the whole middle section in 2 weeks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I did the Ocoee in a raft about a decade ago. What a great trip! Enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 And I did it, made the whole middle ocoee, ran mostly the normal difficult lines, and stayed upright. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
