How How Troutly.....
We only do Pinewood derby cars and mine (I mean the kids) are getting better, but not at the top of the pack. I'm going to have to look into canoes!!!! What else can you tell me???

If it were today, I'd bolt on an HP525EFI to that little bugger!!
I'm in it now as a Chief. I have 2 guides (ages 6 + 8 and a 3 yr. who can't wait) that are into the camping trips, crafts, etc. I guess your experience won't help me much!!!

Hey MP, are those new F4 towels of yours going to be big enough for that sunpad?
Towels are 6'6" by 3'3", and they are 1 inch thick. They weigh about 5 lbs dry. But to answer your question - NO, the engine hatch is 80" long, so the towels are a few inches short.
