    Outcast boats

    I had that problem several years ago. Go to the website of a dealer, typically in stock. I bought my Clearwater raft from Gorge Flyshop, same price as on Outcast website

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    No, it’s not a problem of to few boats, that’s like saying I need more than 3 fly rods. I have all the gear you talk of, but a pontoon is different from a floored raft on a rooftop. I prefer the raft to the pontoon or pram I had before.

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    Space, time. I just figured out the leaf blower hack, adapters for them. I already have the K pumps. And of course a 12 bolt slow ass pump, which is why for 4 years it’s stayed inflated and hauled in truck. it goes back to what DerekWhipple said in the beginning, bow and stern both have fabric...

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    I think a pontoon might go better because of streamline. Have you tried the Commander or quick to inflate?

    Anyone consistently do so at freeway speeds? Looking at my OC Clearwater on a Subaru Forester. For once I’m uncertain.

    Jon Boat Oar Lock Sockets

    Typically, if you have a barrier between aluminum, steel/stainless steel, you won’t have corrosion unless the barrier breaks down. IE, a thin plastic insert.

    Furthest Travel to Fish

    To a little sun speckled brook trout creek in the nearby mountains. My last lab greeting me, having forgiven me for that last trip to the vet. Her following me as I fish in the tunnels created by trees, dappled by the sun. Her rambling off when bored with me, making sure we are safe from...
