Boat Racks for RV Travel

[Legacy Posts]

Just some stuf I have run across in my travels.

Pete, thanks for the picks. I am going to get a boat rack and mount it
on my shell and buy a canoe this spring. I had a 14' aluminum boat for
10 years and just sold it, we want to try something else for a while.
We are going camping for the weekend. Have a good day. Jay Herb :sunny

Before you buy a canoe, do yourself a favor maybe and find a kayak place that will let you demo a couple. I think my kayak is the best boat I have ever owned and I certainly have the most fun in it. Much easier to paddle and more stable than a canoe.

I have a canoe with a small outboard stashed away at a friend's in Florida that I am saving to take a long trip into the Everglades NP some year because it will hold a lot of stuf, but I am going to drag my kayak behind it.

Built a 17' cedar strip canoe, two years ago. Bought a 15' kayak last spring. There isn't just a whole lot of water in S.E. Colorado on normal years; but this year, as you know, we really set some new records.

Am now purchasing a Scamp to take the kayak (or canoe) to where the water is. Would consider a boat like Morgan's, but don't want to be eaten.

I'm with Pete. I've got a 13' Old Town Castine with rudder, beautiful little boat, and as Pete says, much more stable than the canoe we had before. It is also perfect for the single paddler. It's a cinch to paddle once someone tells you how to get into it!

Floy,

LOL! I've come to the conclusion that there is NO graceful way to enter or exit a kayak. My method is just hope no one is looking.

We leave in a bit for an overnighter (#3) with our new-to-us Casita. This time we'll be taking the kayak to do some birdwatching. Will try to get a pic to post of our carrier system - which is basically throw the lil Swifty on top of the truck.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
