    That's cool, maybe I'll use that out at Scoutfourk and get a kayak for fishing at the lake. One with a transom would be cool if I felt lazy and wanted to put a little trolling motor on there.

    this is what I got. mine is older and not a fold up though. It has a wood frame w/ some kind of vinyl stretched over it. What I like about these type of kayaks is that they are effortless to paddle, can carry a crap load of gear, and are super stable and will keep you dry. the only negative is mine is heavy and the bottom doesn't like sharp rocks.

    those are white water kayaks...I think jimmy wants more of a touring/fishing kayak

    those kayaks are real unstable aren't they? and they track like **** so they can turn on a dime in white water. I think they are a PITA on any kind of flat water where actual paddling is required. they are more of a sit and let the current guide you along type deal and then paddle to redirect change directions.

    I thought about that, then thought it sounded heavier than an alumimum one.

    We used to have a canoe but it was fiberglass and sat in our backyard for 20 yrs flipped over on saw horses. My dad had an aluminum before that but he almost died on a river one time when it got sideways in a rapid and the canoe folded in half around a rock. Good story.

    Karl's uncle has a pink canoe, its a story of expiramental surgeries and one man's strife to become a woman, but i've probably divulged too much private family history already.

    I would think a botched "pink taco conversion" would end up with something more like a pink burrito, or maybe a pink chalupa?
