Wow....that not kayak that's a boat
A skinny skiff.
Is that an anchor rig on the one end?
How much does it weigh?
Awesome stuff. Lots of luck with it!There is a mounting point on the back port side for a shallow water power pole anchor. The motor is not in the picture, but the front of the boat accommodates an included 45 lb thrust minn kota trolling motor with spot lock, which is a super nice feature. Weight without the motor is around 120 lbs, so it ain't light. I'll be getting a trailer for it soon.
I pondered on a small boat instead, but this fits me much better. It's a big initial investment, but it's one time. The boat hull and deck each have a lifetime warranty and the motors are pretty bullet proof. I won't need to get the trailer inspected, I won't need to title the boat. I can get this and one other kayak on the trailer, which will fit in my garage for storage. There is basically no where I can't go. Only limited by range which is the biggest drawback. But all the pros outweigh the cons IMO.
I love your Probert Upper Deck avatar.Admired the top shelf Rags trolling at Hobby's today. The corned beef ain't too shabby either.

wow, that's quite the vessel ...all i have is a 15' canoe i picked up for 200 bucks like 5 years ago
even entered a 9km canoe race a few years ago with a friend of mine. we finished dead last, about a kilometer (10 minutes) behind the boat in front of us and 24 minutes behind first place
This is only 13.5 feet, so your canoe is bigger! And also a lot cheaper
And hey, you finished the race. That's something, right?
...and lighter!
as for the race... we weren't dogging it...we just sucked
looking forward to canoeing out to a crown land island i know of north of here.. free parking beside the marina, and free camping with no one around
camping in provincial parks is almost 50 dollars a night now!....and f*** that shit
First day today shooting a bow after 12 sessions of physical therapy + home exercises.
Overall pain has subsided, I don't wake up in the middle of the night with pain but I'm still not in shooting condition.
Got a pair of 25 lbs limbs which is 10 lbs less than I was shooting at 8 years old. Took 10 shots and had a little bit of discomfort...feels more achy than pain...so I stopped after 10.
Hopefully I can get the strength up quickly. I think I need more PT.
Safety first. Take it slow. Did your rehab specialist give you a program to follow? If not ask for one.First day today shooting a bow after 12 sessions of physical therapy + home exercises.

I was given exercises early in the PT that I am supposed to keep doing and a series of warmups that I need to do before I shoot with rubber bands for shoulder stability.Safety first. Take it slow. Did your rehab specialist give you a program to follow? If not ask for one.
I’d try to develop a number of reps to increase regularly so you can slowly progress with the act of shooting. Treat them like weight lifting reps or something similar .I was given exercises early in the PT that I am supposed to keep doing and a series of warmups that I need to do before I shoot with rubber bands for shoulder stability.
30 years?! Just be lucky 30 years of marriage didn’t kill you. Some people don’t make even a fraction of that!Today is actually my 30th wedding anniversary. We did a fancy restaurant on Sunday and we will go to a favorite local haunt tonight. Wife is out having her hair done and I'm trying to avoid any excess misery at the office. Two lawyer, three kids, multiple golden retrievers, and now a kitten and she hasn't tried to kill me in my sleep. That's the definition of a successful marriage.

Thats great. We are in ten times less in marriage. But 13 years in close relationships/12 years living together. Would be great to celebrate 30 years one day. Hope you still feel it. Looks like you feel it. Really happy for you. Wish you more retrievers. And grandchildren for your next anniversary.Today is actually my 30th wedding anniversary.
