TuffStuff Expedition Canoe Drop!
zhlédnutí 81KPřed 9 lety
To further test the strength of our newest composite canoe material, TuffStuff Expedition, we decided to drop a canoe from the roof of our warehouse. The canoe fell 100’ and survived! While it sustained some damage the hull was still very strong and we took it for a paddle right after the drop. Catastrophic punishment and still strong. That’s TuffStuff!! These canoes are in production now. Cont...

Great news 👍 👍
where and what product we can use to cover the skid plate ?
DAMN! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL OPEN WATER SEASON!!!!
I love this simple video. Do you live down by the river?
So, in 2-1/2 minutes, you captured what to me is a perfect day--very nice video! Thanks for posting.
Wow if you want to test a canoe’s durability you should just give one to a complete novice like me 😂😂😂 see what it’s like after I’ve managed to learn the skills required to get it down a river with all my kit still in tact 😂😂 I’m sure it would end up in more of a mess than that… and so would I probably 😂
Can blue steel take the same abuse?
The final surface it's not gloss finished....if use an additional resin is it possible to have a nice smooth surface (eg "liquid glass")???
Can I get a discount on the canoe you took the hammers to 😊
Excellent Seventies T.V. Police show music.
I wish I would’ve seen that before I just bought my North Star canoe. The wind blew it over and the POS cracked.
That's terrible - what model and what layup?
On my 1 year old bkuesteel canoe, the crack not only on the gelcoat but also breaks the fabric as well, about 3 inches long. I can see the crack on both side of canoe. Do I repair the outside just the same way as do the inside?
Hi Joe, it's tough to assess without seeing images or the boat in person. However that sounds like more substantial damage. I would suggest taking a look at this video for patching composite hulls: czcams.com/video/VIRQJx2DbQA/video.html
@@novacraftcanoe Thank you so much for quick reply. I've watched that video. Does it mean I have to repair the outside of the canoe the same way as inside?
@@joelin8835 You'd want to patch the interior and gelcoat repair the exterior.
Kind of sucks seeing a beautiful canoe wasted. Ive totalled an aluminum canoe once. Folded right around me. Bent it back into shape and managed to get down last mile and take it to be recycled. It was mangled with sharp metal everywhere. It died in action though, and wasn't as pretty a boat. Id liberated it from the state of MD for ripping me off during my Navy service, so I just went back and took another. Obviously these are nice canoe's. I just picked up a Great Canadian 16-2 used. I know its sweet, bit heavy but I still got it. Hopefully the VA will successfully fix my broken hand tomorrow and my doggie and I will be out paddling. Then I just gotta avoid catching a camping felony here in Tennessee, and profit prison while they gas my dog.
does it fits to all kind of canoe? THANK YOU for the video my friend!!!!!!!!!! MUCH appreciated!!! :)
Can’t find that gunnel clamp fly rod holder anywhere.
Nice
Any tips for sanding underneath the gunwale and not scratching the gel coat?
I would just use a wide piece of painters tape along the edge of the gunwhale. You should be able to get some in 3-4 inch width at Home Depot or Amazon.
So, do they talk about the fact that you will spend more hours repairing the gelcoat covering the tuff stuff, than you do actually paddling? Do they talk about how easily the gelcoat cracks on flat water trips? I have one of these, the worst purchase of my life! Sure, the tuff stuff is tough, but the gelcoat is as fragile as a thin pane of glass. As soon as the repairs are done THIS time, I'm selling it and getting something else. Do not recommend.
What did you end up getting? Seems all the composite canoes now have a gel coat to deal with. I'm also looking for a low maintenance canoe but not crazy heavy

What did you use to color match the resin?
Nice show guys... I'm looking for a P17 with Skid Plates, in Ox Blood... Beautiful Canoes
Stuck between trapper and Fox
I ordered one of your kits. The instructions that came with my resin said to add half of the 11 ml hardener tube, which is 5.5 ml, and watch this video. This video says 4.5ml. Which is it? When I followed the instructions in this video, my skid plates didn't harden up until they sat overnight. I hope they hardened up sufficiently, because they're not cheap, and would be a real mess to have to redo.
Looking at getting a TuffStuff Prospector here in Yellowknife. Interesting material. Shield country is hard on the gear.
Well it still takes water in now... so.. that isn't really that good 😅
Kids got talent, nice canoes.
Well, that's a pretty impressive test! Tough stuff, indeed!
Where do i purchase this kit for my Kevlar canoe?
Hello! The kits are available through any authorized dealer or online at this link www.londonspaddleshop.com/product/skid-plate-kit-for-composite-canoes/
I want one !
So what's the history on that building? I'm into urban exploration and it has a very interesting abandoned look to it.
It was a flour mill built in like 1910, it exploded (dust explosions) several times in the 20's 30's and in one instance 2 firefighters died. I was in that door way when I was a kid and you could walk in. It was all rubble and garbage and led nowhere. The build was in use at that time as a warehouse of some-sort. They've done a good job keeping it maintained considering how massive it is.
Good Demo and an impressive product. I see some people were not impressed. If I fell a hundred feet in a canoe, I think limb fractures, organ failure and death would be more of a concern, as opposed to some fibres and gelcoat.
Can a Blend out thinner spray be used to loose the edge of the repair ?
You Hosers make some impressive canoes.
send it bow first like they did at old town!
meaningless unless you also toss a boat with just carbon fiber or s glass off as well. I'm more impressed with the aerodynamic reenenty shape of a canoe.
subscribed, i need that resin in an airplane.
thats a new resin
This was a trip of a lifetime!! :)
👍🏼🇺🇲👍🏼🇺🇲👍🏼🇺🇲👍🏼🇺🇲
That's incredible. It adjusts itself to the position of highest resistance and achieves a sort of aerodynamic stability, lands flat on it's bottom. That thing will last generations if maintained properly.
WAIT!
Do you use a polyester gel coat, or epoxy resin?
I am sold
That looks like a cool old building. Nice canoe as well.
Looking great! 😍
Now I am hungry! That looks DELICIOUS!
I'm sanding, filling and painting my whole canoe and want to install the skid plate kit as well. My question: am I able to paint over the applied skid plate when I do the paint job? Or should I complete my restoration and add the plates similar to the method in this video?
I'd recommend doing it after the rest of the work.
Hopefully you'll see this as your comment is over two years old, what are you painting the boat with?
Is that the Blue steel material?
This is aramid - an equivalent to Kevlar - used in our Aramid Lite material
wearing no safety glasses right in front of sign which says "Caution: safety glasses required" amazing materials though!
Now that's a lot of TuffStuff!
