A Repaired Boat With a Story
Every now and then a kayak comes along with a little personality. This Aspire 105 was purchased a few years back by a customer who loved it from the moment she saw it. But on her very first paddle, the boat took on some water. We replaced it immediately — that’s how we do things.
Back at the shop, we found the culprit: a small crack inside the skeg box. The skeg, by the way, is one of the best features on a kayak. Retracted, the boat is playful and maneuverable. Deployed, it tracks beautifully, adds stability, and can even help you carve a turn.
Fast‑forward to this summer — we were repairing another boat and had some leftover Gator Guard and epoxy. So we patched this one up properly. Easy‑peezy. The repair is clean, solid, and fully sealed.
This Aspire 105 is ready for adventures again, and it shouldn’t take on water ever again… or my name isn’t Abe Lincoln. — Bill, Owner
