Silverflames, have you had a chance to get back on the water? Still a satisfied customer?

Yes, they are very smooth on the water. My wife and her friend went out yesterday. She/friend has a 8' plastic Kayak, and she said the aluminum Kayak tracks better. Started polishing one, looks much better!

They look to polish up nice. Arguing with myself if I want to get one of these or build a new CLC Sassafras 12 canoe.

Michael; I had never heard of the CLC company, so I looked them up. What classics. They would be quieter than the aluminum and there would be the pride of construction.

I have built 5 of their boats, 2 from kits, 3 from plans. I ended up selling all but one. The Sassafras is an easy build from plans for most builders. I bought the plans package a couple of years ago. The Sassafras 12 weighs under 30 pounds for most builds. Chesapeake Light Craft gives military discounts if anyone is interested. I miss my Old Town 12 footer and have always regretted selling it.

Chief, there is a 12 ft fiberglass canoe on CL quad cities. No name given, but is an older model. FYI

Joan thanks. Been spending the morning cleaning out the garage/boat shop preparing for the build. Just got an email saying kit has shipped and will be delivered Tuesday.

Osagian aluminum kayak
Just a little update. We brought the Osagian Kayaks to the St. Joseph Bay Area. We went island hopping, and they preformed great. To be fair, we were in less than 3 feet of water the whole time. We will try to hit the Gulf Side later this week to see how they deal with waves.

Thanks for the update. We're not ready to decide what to use for getting on the water and will use our inflatable until then, but these kayaks look great. I'm glad you're enjoying them and what a great place to be boating! We pass thru your area on our way to Homosassa and are looking forward to exploring the area between there and Pensacola. Thanks again for the update.

Start of our second season with the Kayaks. So far so good. The first cut of polish held up pretty well over last couple of months. We took them out at Crystal Beach Fl. Going to take them out tonight during the fireworks.

How did last night's firework show on the open water work out in your kayaks.
Were you able to capture any pictures.
