I would agree that trailers in general are a P.I.T.A. but with some newer and better tech you would be surprised how much less maintanence you will have. As far as tires it is tuff issue since it is hard to find good quality small trailer tires.

Sea Pearl 21 Personally I am really into the Sea pearl 21 units from Marnine Concepts. These little boats are based on an old Herreshoff design and are incredible little boats. True yacht quality that can go anywhere. They can be towed by a 4 cyl car no problem and hang with any small boat on...

I do alot of photography from canoes and kayaks. You have a few options for carrying slr cameras but here is my personal favorite set up. Go to www.nrsweb.com and order a drybag made by watershed. Look for the ocoee model and order it with the padded liner. This bag is totally waterproof. It...

Souris river is kind of like the candian version of wenonah. They build a variety of hull laminates including some interesting s-glass laminates that are nearly transparent. My general feeling is that if you live in the U.S. then buy a U.S. made boat. Shipping across borders to handle a warranty...

Duck low! Our first portage of the trip. Another portage. watch out for poison ivey!!! Then we turned up a creek that had a portage to enter and then paddled into a small slough just wide enough for a canoe. We had to drag the boats 50' back to the river. The roots of this tree show why...

Well I just led a trip on the river last weekend through the 17 runs. This is the most difficult section of the Hillsborough River and one of the more challenging short day trips in all of Florida. It is written about periodically when ambitious families head out and get lost in the swamp. Even...

I have full breathers on the drive train. Trans, transfer, axles etc. I have also filled every connector with die electric grease and sealed my distributor.

Well that is great news for Toyo fans. I know several guys running the toyo mt and they like them. Personally I am running maxxis bighorns in 255 and although the Toyo mt is tempting to try They are 11lbs per tire heavier. That would net a loss of another 6.285 hp from my little 2.7 so I think...

You can buy the units from Chris Cole @ Campa

Well I do not own a campa but I have used a campa on several occasions and have taken more then a few showers using that omega unit. It seemed to work fine in my experience. Even getting up on a few 50 degree morning and taking a shower was good. I think the omega unit does a good job over all...

Yea I hear ya it's just that when I look at the current offerings all I see are vehicles that get are getting harder and harder to work on. They do not really offer any better economy that is for sure. What I have planned is basically building a new vehicle that meets my needs and is something...
