: Rob, you're a canoe guy also...would you recommend the old standby Kevlar
: felt skid pads on a canoe or this polypro stuff?

: Shawn

Forget Kevlar. That was a great way for the commercial builders to sell their
scrap pieces. On a whitewater boat it's okay, but not on a stripper.

Use the polypropylene. Like I said, it wets out translucent so it's amost invisible.

All the best,
