Jay you should throw us up an update photo while you’re at it. The hull’s done, right?I wouldn’t say that. Its getting there for sure though. I wish I could have it at the house this weekend to work on but I definitely wont be around the shop for the next 3 days.
Back when we were building kayaks out of fiberglass. Yeah, I know I’m getting old! We would mold the rim for the spray skirt using an old piece of garden hose as the form. I bet if you find the correct size it will do the job nicely. I really enjoy this thread! Keep up the good work.
in some dream world I’d love to upgrade from a 15 to a 25 on my Gheenoe. That $3,000.00 price tag is a tough one to wrap my brain around.
bdBrian (or anyone), can you comment on your preference for going from a 15 to a 25 hp? I am toying with the idea of buying a 9.9 for a RiverHawk, believing that might be enough and and thinking I might like the lower weight. On the other hand, the boat is rated for up to a 20 (and everyone knows there is a little room for some extra).
With something like a 25, maybe I could pull my kids in an tube, which would make me a hero with our two shorties.
I would go with a good used Merc 25 2 stroke.
It appears to be 9’6″, but a S3 7wt. Saw it on ebay. BR
Thanks for the heads up!
I fish the 7wt Bank Robber and use the SA mastery Series Streamer Express Long (50′ head). These lines were developed with Kelly Galloup guidence. The 200gr should work nicely with your 6wt.
