I'm bored so let's talk Kayaks

I stopped by Outdoor Recreation Equipment and took a look at some ready made bungee kits for the bow and stern of my kayak. The kits were $26.95 for 4 u shaped hooks (?), couple of feet of bungee and four pop rivets.

Instead I purchased 15' of bungee, 6 pop rivets and will source the u hooks at Handyman hardware for 50 cents each for a grand total of about $18.

I'll have enough spare bungee left over to make a paddle leash and hold down. This is my ice cometh and stayeth winter project.

How about you guys and gals? Anyone doing anything to their butt boat or canoe that you'd want to share?

I am gathering tons of info on the Alleghney River trip....let's go!
