South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

yea me and friends used to kayak from the damn and climb around on the pumphouse years ago. they had just started tearing down the Celanese plant when I was graduating high school. have you paddled from the damn down to landsford canal yet?

 

I might have to get in on this too

 

That paddle is on my bucket list! I just have not had logistical support for return. I typically start at the dam, when it releases, then paddle to pump house. They now have a kayak put in right there!

When there is a series of storms, the Catawba dams are wide open; makes for a fast, exciting paddle!

 

Absolutely! Anytime you or anyone is up...

 

yea we had my dad come pick us up from landsford at the end. it was a pretty awesome paddle. with two vehicles, you could probably leave one at landsford then take both kayaks up to the dam and paddle back to the truck. id be down to do that at some point! we could set up a TW paddle sesh...

 

Yes! Cool! How long was Lake Wylie dam to Landsford Canal paddle??

 

we did it early January where we had short days (not recommended) and we did it in I think 8 or 9 hours. we had a lot of water in the river though so that helped us keep speed. we stopped a few times to mess around on the things we found along the way and my one buddy had to keep stopping because his sit-in had a leak and he had to empty it out a few times.

 

Aww damn...now I've got to really get off my ass and get into paddling like I've been meaning to for a couple years.

 

its a pretty good time!

 

I did here that some grandpa was riding through Clinton with a high top camper shell

 

I am gonna make the PVC kayak rack thing.............I MUST GET OUT ON THE WATER.......................

 

I plan on being there to watch it. Should be some epic crashes on that BMX Supercross track. Todays courses are way
different than what I grew up racing on. Back in the day we raced. Nowadays its about getting the holeshot and pumping all the jumps.

MGM short bed Leer top.. $900 obo

Got this sucker. Fits like a glove. They have 1 more, 170 beans

 

looks good

 

@Sandman614 I have a Warn M8000 that pulls up to 435A when the line pull is 8000lbs. Will a Blue Sea 285 Series 150A breaker be ok to use for the winch? According to Blue Sea, 300% (450A) of the breaker will trip between 5 and 10 seconds. If I'm pulling that much on a winch, I pull in short bursts to keep the heat down or will usually use a snatch block before putting too much tension on it.

Also, I have a Blue Sea 12 circuit fuse block and wondering how many amp breaker I need for the block itself.

Thanks!

 

Damn I'm jealous at that price point! No way it'll fit (or can be made to fit) in a short bed?

This is what I went by.
