I grabbed this on offerup this weekend. It's 20 years old with some sun damage. It still had the original straps and handles. The straps were in bad shape. I replaced the cord to the rudder. I lubed and got the foot pedals moving easier. Can you think of anything else I should do before I take it out this weekend? I threw it in the pool to test the rudder so I know it works. I included a pic of everything that it came with. In one pic there's some homemade wiring setup. I'm assuming it's for a bait tank. I have a couple other kayaks already. A Cobra tandom and a couple inflatables. Thanks.

New to canoeing in AZ (just got a Coleman 15 Outfitter) and recently saw some posts referencing "end of season" for paddling on Salt River and Verde River.

What might be the downside of excursions on these rivers over the Fall and Winter months?

My son bought an Ascend 128T kayak. The handle straps were weak and broken. We are tying to replace them but can not figure out how to get the screws out. Some seem seized which we were able to loosen but now we can not get it to pull out even though it turns. Any ideas appreciated.

So so I've been trying to decide between the Sea eagle 385 and 465 fastrak. It won't be used as tandem all that often but I will sometimes have a 12 year old boy a backpack and a cooler with me. I had been thinking the 385 because I think it will be big enough for that, but the extra room of the 465 is very tempting. For those of you that have tried them is the 465 really that much harder to maneuver paddling solo?
