Thank you! It is a Whitehall Solo Spirit 14. Sliding seat and made of rotomolded plastic. Handles pretty big water and rows easily.
Very nice boat! I saw the price, and was surprised how much for a roto-molded boat. Then saw that it's actually thermoformed, a much higher quality process. With that skeg, I thought there had to be a sailing option, too. What a beauty! Perfect for rough water. Thanks for the details.

Howdy. Not my first post, second actually. I have been stalking the group for the past few weeks and really like the fact that I have yet to see the "go hit the search button" response you see on so many other forums when people ask questions.

Just got a 2016 4Runner Trail and already looking to mod. It is my first truck and I am loving it. Only owned sports cars prior. I am not new to travel and backcountry backpacking but I am new to Offroad driving. I am out of VA Beach right now but will be moving out to CA this winter.

Looking forward to meeting folks and running some trails.

location- Orlando, FL
Rig- 2010 Xterra
Experience- I've stepped in mud a few times.

My elevator sales pitch- After a few trips through Suburban estates in Central Florida, I find myself behind the wheel of a 4wd Xterra. After a few ideas and a few drinks with friends, Overlanding sounded like a great idea.

Location: Syracuse, NY - Close enough to the Adirondacks, where I grew up.
Rig: 2011 GMC Sierra Regular Cab Standard Bed SLE, 2.5" Rough Country Lift Kit, 32.5" General Grabber AT2 tires on 18" Ultra Gauntlet Rims, Rhino Liner Spray-In Bedliner, soft rolling tonneau cover, and Access ADARAC bed rack.
Experience: I spent my entire childhood hiking, camping, and paddling the Adirondacks. Overlanding, not so much in the same sense of the term as used out West. I use my truck mainly to get to and from backcountry campsites, trailheads, lakes, and rivers hauling the essentials, bikes, and kayaks.

Done a lot of off-roading, new to the whole overland thing!
Just placed my order for a badge can't wait!
Hi gang, my name is Brett and I live in the inland empire in Southern California. I drive a 2012 TRD OR DCSB Tacoma that I like to think is pretty well outfitted. I'll start a build thread shortly also.
Welcome! Im down in San Diego so maybe we'll run into each other at a meetup
