Just got myself a new Kevlar 16ft prospector and getting ready to fit it out to be ready for spring. I totally get you having a cup of tea to calm down before drilling holes in a nice new canoe.
good video. Im debating whether to install airbags in my vagabond. But I cant bring myself to drilling holes in the boat. lol Im trying to figure out a way to lace in bags without going thru the hull. happy paddling!
I want to do exactly what you've demonstrated there on me new Hou 13ft. Top marks for technique and method etc. Only gripe is that I lost you on the sound a bit, you're quite muffled so I had to crank the sound right up. A little lav mic would do it.
Thanks Andy, yes since I shot this I've purchased a mic and when the new videos go up hopefully their will be an improvement with the quality. But I couldn't wait to work on the canoe and we work with what we've got (GoPro). I hope its helped with your own project.
Dee Tee it obviously depends on the length of boat, but the rule of thumb is one and a half lengths of the boat for lacing each side. This will leave some left over for handy tie downs.

just take it one step at a time and measure, measure and measure. then check again ha ha
I’d put tubing on the loops to keep fishing lures from staging the rope
Enjoyed the video. I may need something stronger than tea before drilling holes in my canoe though. Greetings from Satellite Beach, Florida.

I got a prospector 17 sp3 and want to do the same. Can I damage the boat in any way? What is the risk 😄 Sorry I’m new to canoe.
Simon P. Hello, the SP3 is a pretty indestructible boat just be sure to measure accurately before any drilling.
Thx big time 😊 and thx for the video, It’s a huge help. Just what I was searching for. 😊
Simon P glad to hear, tell everyone you know to subscribe and we could end up with a fleet of canoes
What length cord did you use for each side?
