    Inflatable Kayaks

    IK's are horrible in flatwater, They're harder to paddle, and have more drag than a hardshell boat, they don't track worth a damn (a skeg may help I don't have one on my boats), and get blown around quite a bit as soon as the breeze picks up.

    4x4 Toyota Truck // Chinook Pop-Top Conversion Build

    I'm pretty sure they still have a showroom and shop on Iowa st. in Bellingham, at least they did last time I drove by there. I didn't know they had such a bad reputation, I bought my springs from them about 17 years ago when I lived in NY, Six months later I was living 25 miles away from them...

    Post your Camp Awnings

    I've been real happy with my NRS wing, But like yours the seam tape failed. I removed the tape and thinned out some Aquaseal and brushed it on the seams, It's held up for years and still doesn't leak. I purchased mine used as well (It was on one of their company trips and catalog), and saved...
