Members Hays Posted January 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks for all your comments and advice. There are a couple Vagabonds for sale in Ardmoore, OK. $900 each, like new, Royalex. Found them through Search Tempest. I'm definitely going 14 ft. + and am thinking about a tandem. That's probably the smart thing to do, but I'm lusting after a solo. Hays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hays Posted July 22, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just wanted to finish the thread. Bought a used Vagabond from a guy in Columbia - Alaskan Ivory. Could not be more pleased. As is commonly said, anyone can paddle a Vagabond. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotmuddy Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 this is unrelated but I used to lust after a coosa until I fished with littleredfisherman. I solo my 16' buffalo and can run thru at least 1" shallower water than he could. I built a seat that sits in the middle of my buffalo, a nice high backed swivel seat. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

grizwilson Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 this is unrelated but I used to lust after a coosa until I fished with littleredfisherman. I solo my 16' buffalo and can run thru at least 1" shallower water than he could. I built a seat that sits in the middle of my buffalo, a nice high backed swivel seat. Think I still lust for a coosa for certian applications, had a Old Town Pack that was just too small for me. My Old Town 15 camper was a bit front light even running it backwards from the front seat. Decided to replace the seats thwart and yoke, so I purchased an additional seat. Used the exisiting rear holes and set the front seat one seat length toward the middle. 4 bolts and can be back to a tandem . Very pleased with the handling of the canoe, and the double blade paddle works great. If you ever need seats thwarts etc. give these folks a try, http://www.essexindustries.org/ it is a sheltered workshop for people with disabilities and they do fine work., g “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
