Wow, we are the little rally that could like the little train... I think I can, I think I can and now look where we are! Awesome! Is it time to start a conversation on a a schedule and suggestions on communal meals? There was a conversation on a breakfast but not sure what else has been discussed. if we have some suggestions, I will put together an itinerary to post in a common area. Friday afternoon/evening everyone will be arriving and setting up so an easy potluck of food and beverages...

We've hemmed and hawed for 7 years or so on getting a kayak. Hard shell? Sit-on-top? Inflatable? Transporting? Solo or tandem? ?? We've rented at least 20 kayaks over the years and still couldn't make up our minds. In fact GRUMPA, BMJ, myself, and a few others have gone around and around about the subject here on LOA for 4 or 5 years. GRUMPA & BMJ both bought inflatables - Sea Eagle's (sweet kayaks!) - while we kept languishing over the choices and our needs. Well, we finally decided to...

Congrats on your purchase. I went through the same back and forth trying to decide. I don't have this same kayak but I do have an Advanced Elements Advanced Frame single kayak and I am sold. I can change vehicles without having to have carriers installed and that's the biggest thing for me. Takes a few more minutes to set up but then it's great. I'm not trying to win races either but they are stable and track well. You are going to have lots of hours of fun in that!

Thanks Brubie! So glad to hear from another inflatable kayak owner. The Airis Sport is a terrific choice! I really like their backpack-style carrying bag. https://walkerbay.com/airis-in...latable-kayaks/sport Great shot as well. I should have a few shots of ours resting on a granite boulder at about 8,000' within 2 months. Completely off topic, but right up your alley I believe - one of my podcasts that I regularly listen to is called "Ridiculous History". You might enjoy it. I'm headed out...

We use the same double-action pump, but we start with a 12v pump ( link ). Inexpensive, hand-held pumps like these can be found in virtually any big box store with a sports or kids department, and quickly fill the kayak with low pressure, then we finish it off with the double-action pump. Saves your back! Another thing you'll want is a good repair kit to take along in the kayak, which you probably should put together yourself so it has all the items you need to make spot repairs should that...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pick one up. The kayak we chose - even being a tandem - takes suprisingly little air/energy/work. The 2 main tube chambers take maybe 90 seconds total. The spray skirts, etc... (4 chambers total) take just 1 full pump each with the "double action" pump. Great tip on the repair kit. Ours came with one, but of course is missing a few "real experience" items. I will add to it for sure. --------------- Enjoy the "Ridiculous History" episode. It was a fun...

I'm going out on a limb here, but am thinking you meant hull not hole. Hole is not conducive to any kayak hard or inflatable.

We're spending eight wonderful nights at the boat camp over the 4th... our annual trip. We boat in with our Chaparral runabout and bring the inflatable kayaks and paddleboards to meander around the bay. Also, we need the kayak to get to/from the boat when it's on the buoy. We set up a mondo glam-camp, complete with hot shower. In 2014, we spent a total of four weeks (two two-week stays) at the camp; the best trip ever. Wife said "enough" though, so we're down to the eight night stay these days.

Speaking of the pump, I removed 2 of the 4 adapters which don't serve a purpose with our particular kayak, seats, & front foot brace. They were just in the way taking up space & causing an annoyance.

Took a few pictures of the inflatable foot rest for the front seat & the extra large pool noodle that I cut for a foot rest for the back seat (fits very snugly right behind the front seat). The deflated front foot rest fits inside of the deflated kayak (along with the deflated seats) and the modified pool noodle foot rest fits inside of the kayak's bag so that neither are floating around to get lost in storage/when not in use.

For our latest trip we had the 2.4K generator, a tandem kayak, and all of its accessories stored dry & secure -

Jeff, I just came across your post. What's your verdict on this kayak? Thanks.

Hi there, We reserved site #26.

Mike, I haven't timed either, but if I were to guess, getting the trailer tires from 60 to 65 is about 15 - 20 seconds. Inflating our two-person kayak (upper and lower sections) takes maybe 90 seconds each. I couldn't find any duty cycle information in the manual (other than if PSI > 100, then only run for 10 min), but based on our needs, it doesn't seem like we have to worry about any duty cycle. My only "complaint" is that it is loud, but I think most of these devices are. It's great...

I have the DeWalt tire inflator too. It's great if you are already using their 20V system and runs a long time on even a tiny 2Ah battery pack. I also use it to inflate pool toys and it works on an inflatable kayak too. It doesn't move a massive amount of air so I find it a bit slow for big truck tires but it works great for trailer tires. I always carry it with me whenever we tow.

I do not have my new Lance 2255 yet. But my last four trailers did very well with 303. Also use it on our canoe and kayak. Our current trailer we are trading in is a 2015 and still looks new with bright, uncracked sticker. Joe
