Did some more hauling around with my blow-up canoe this summer, and I hate it even more. It is not the most comfortable to sit in, but the worst is inflating and deflating it. Plus when you step into it, your foot sinks down another foot or so into the floor.
Nice pics, and looks like you're still living the good life...

Threw on a Prince prop that I picked up with another airplane I
bought.
Thought I'd try it out. Somewhat noisier than the Warp but it
did give me
some more performance. Still mystified how Lonnie comes up with
Pitch for
these things. Just before I left home I installed one that he
supplied for a
150HP Lyco on a customers airplane that was coarser pitched than
this one I
have that was running on a strong 160 HP H2AD. Beats me... but
it on my 150
HP the prop works pretty good. Could be a little finer to work
perfect but
it's good enough AFAIConcerned. Left my RPM #'s on the camp
fridge though so
I won't quote anything at this time. All I know for sure is it
climbs well
at about 400 to 500 fpm in the configuration noted below with my
buddy
along.....and yes with the canoe on the side and everything like
gear,
cooler bag etc adding up in the just shy of 2000lb area.

gallons of fuel
and the canoe into the middle of BFNW to do some fishing.
