It was a pleasure having you up to Maine. I am always happy to show off our facility. We're all really proud about our heritage and what we do here!

Y’all’s hospitality is second to none. I’m thoroughly impressed that y’all scour social media outlets and engage with consumers that have issues with their Old Town kayaks. And I’m completely blown away that y’all try to duplicate the gripes in order to properly fix any issues that arise. I’m looking forward to seeing what Old Town will do in the future. The Topwater and Predator PDL has really set a high benchmark for the industry.

Ryan Lilly, I just bought a vapor 10 from a friend, what is your warranty on them after they change hands from the original owner

One of my favourite memories from childhood was visiting the Old Town factory and shop in approx. 1987 and my dad buying an Old Town Discovery. If I remember the name of the place correctly, afterwards we went to Moosehead Lake and camped and canoed there for a week.

Companies like Old Town and the paddling community are the reason it's such a wonderful way to spend hard earned time. Cheers ...

I bought my dad a factory second Royalex Tripper at the original old red factory in 1983. One of the old fellows who was taking a break from building a wood canoe helped me put it on top of my Honda Accord. Drove all the way from Old Town back to New Jersey and surprised my dad with a present. It broke my heart when I heart that the original factory had burned down. Some years later I bought a second one when I started to have children. It’s a shame they don’t make the Tripper any more. I’ve taken multiple two-week long trips in them. Still one of the best excursion canoes of all time. Indestructible.

Sounds like a classic 🛶 🙌

@MultiPetercool Жыл бұрын

@@MDLRFishing Yes indeed! Old Town products certainly retain value. I live near Seattle, and I know that if I brought my Tripper up to Alaska, I would get multiple offers for more than what I paid for it. The Tripper is the canoe that put Old Town at the top of the industry. I only have the smaller 17 1/2 foot version. The 20 foot version is the Holy Grail. Very few were sold, but I guarantee most of them are still in service. Royalex may be heavy, but it’s nuclear bomb proof!

I saw you at iCAST. Great filming. Like your channel. I worked in rotomolding. I imagine the other quicker oven we couldn’t see at 06:30 simply has multiple arms that rotate into oven and can hold multiple molds on each arm. Full mold, go through oven, then through spray cooling, then back to operators for unbolting and kayak hull removal. I used to work on some of the largest ovens in the country. Johnson Outdoors certainly carries the best brands above and below the water....they even have ScubaPro!

There was one club in Goa that was renting out sea kayaks but they are so rare. But a beautiful country like ours has far little exposure. Do you know of any particular vendors ?
