Thanks for the tips and the feedback, Opie! There’s great information here, so I’ve combined your two posts into a Customer Build Report, which I’ve posted here.

One thing I would suggest is to coat the outside of the seam strips below the waterline with Seam Grip+WP or Aquaseal, otherwise they will start to peel when you’re scraping down those…[Read more]

I’m sorry to hear that the Ultralight isn’t the right packraft for your adventures, but it sounds like you’ve already done some great paddling – Icebreaker – haha! That’s fantastic!

Thanks for posting these great pictures, Eric! That looks like an amazing trip – gotta love those clear mountain lakes. I’m glad the fishing rod holders worked, too – I think you’re the first person to try that in the Ultralight. Fantastic!

Thanks for this detailed report, Opie – it looks like you did great work! I plan to post this in the Customer Build Reports gallery along with your tips and tricks so this doesn’t get buried in the forum thread. I think you’re the first person to provide such detailed feedback about the 2-Person build – thanks!

Awesome! Thanks again for the feedback, Sylvain 😀

That’s awesome! Congratulations, Jim, and thanks for posting!

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Bruce and his family recently – what a great guy!

Excellent work, and great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Kaytree!

Cool! Great idea!

I’m really glad you’re enjoying your Telkwa, and it looks like you did great work, but using my design to make another packraft without asking for permission is really not cool.

That looked like a fun paddle! I’m glad everything is coming together.

Great solution! I hope the first float was a success.

Hmm, that’s unusual… I’ve actually never seen that before. Could you send me some pictures from the inside of the cockpit, and maybe take one or two shots through the valve opening so I can see where tubes 4L and 4R are attached to the floor (if possible)? It does look like something might be separating there, but I can’t tell why. Can you see…[Read more]

Very cool! I was thinking about foot rests just before you posted this, because I’m testing out a new seat, somewhat similar to yours. The footrest looks like a great design. I’m curious if you’ve tried using it without stuff inside it, just inflated – you mentioned that the larger one felt like pressing against a balloon, but I wonder if this one…[Read more]

Great to know! Thanks for the update.

Very cool! I should really get one of those pumps… and a 3D printer! I’m seeing some great ideas lately.
