Yes, and I shot this video several years ago, I am still using them and they are still going strong. I have switched from the lash down crossbar to bolt down crossbar. They are pretty cool.
I've been looking at those outriggers for a while (at least 3 years) and wondered if they would be suitable to my open canoe, but I have thought that they are not enough. Thanks for the video, now I dare to order them. :)
Very cool. I've got a 17.5 foot Grumman. I'm going to give something like this a shot. I've always wanted to rig something up so I can swim off the canoe in deep water.
Видел их на "Алиекспресс". Стоят, как "взрослые", грузоподъёмность, как у бутылки из-под пива. Спасибо, что попробовали, но можно посчитать грузоподъёмность на бумажке, не рискуя замочить штаны. :- )
It was a rough calculation. I figured 20 liters volume= 44 pounds of water displaced on the end of a 4 ft lever= 176 pounds of righting moment. I also calculated heeling moment if my 50 sq ft sail to be ~ 150 pounds @15 knots. So, I should be okay to about 15 knots. 20 knots of wind gives me 250 pounds of heeling moment though, so I definitely want to keep it under 15 knots of wind I think.
Great idea I had in the past plastic outriggers from Sail boats to go but they were heavy and clunky I think you are much better off with the inflatable ones HIgh Five to ya
Yes, I frequently use them in choppy conditions. They are fantastic in my opinion. When they strike a wave they just kind of self level, no drama. Here's a short video clip. ua-cam.com/video/BJp8LkBaeD4/v-deo.html
Cotter pins are a good idea. Like the outriggers, hate the pokey bolts sticking out. This Grumman is an amazing boat. It is so versatile. One of my best boat purchases. It's so simple and functional.
@@travelbywater9378 on my sailboat for the rigging for the stays I got these cotter pins that are like syringes... when you squeeze the plunger with your thumb, ir releases a ballbearing so you can slide it in or out (examples here: www.rochehardware.com/quick-release-pins/) no pokey points...
@@mortschubert3909 they are on quick release pins, so they are easy to remove for paddling. Here is a short video of them on a windy day sailing my canoe. They don't cause any problems except a bit of wind resistance. ua-cam.com/video/BJp8LkBaeD4/v-deo.html
Wow. This is actually a game changer for me. I was on the fence about the amazon ones but this definitely sold me.

Go for it. They have been great for me, almost 5 years now.

We use them for swimming and snorkeling a lot. I have changed the cross bar to bolt on, but still use the outriggers all the time.
Thanks for sharing
Preciate the video you helped me make a decision
Just heads up you can modify a old folks walker to go across the canoe to hold the pontoons
excellent
That’s just what I needed to see thank you🤙🏽
This was very helpful. Thank you.

thx for the tech tip on righting movement. great post.

Looks like you're gearing up for a new adventure!
Portageable sailboat. Should be good for accessing back country lakes :)

The inflatables work nicely. I did look at the plastic one from SBTG but, I couldn't quite visualize how they would look on the boat.
Thanks for making and sharing that!
It was fun. Couldn't beleive how stable they made the boat.
Thanks
Great help, thank for the Video
Getting excited to get mine
They are pretty good, I am impressed. Wasn't sure what I was going to get.
Perfect! thanks!
You get a like and sub for jumping in the water !
Can't have a water sports channel and be afraid to jump in the river ;)
He missed the boat ;)
If you get them angled closer to the water somehow, would probably be even more stable.
I am reading keep them high to reduce drag, but still new to the stabiliser thing.
@@travelbywater9378 true enough, best of luck with them!
Have you tried them in waves/rough water?
If so, how did they handle it?
Yes, I frequently use them in choppy conditions. They are fantastic in my opinion. When they strike a wave they just kind of self level, no drama. Here's a short video clip. ua-cam.com/video/BJp8LkBaeD4/v-deo.html
I would suggest cotter pins on the pontoon ends ..
Grumman--- are you trying to own every classic boat there is?

I have an 18’ Grumman sweet canoe it’s a big boy
You have a link for the inflatables?

Two years later, are you still using them?
I am yes. They are no signs of wear, no leaks. They have been great.
@@travelbywater9378, that is good to know; thank you!
How do they affect the boat when the wind blows? Do they wobble the boat?

@@travelbywater9378, thank you!
Do you need help with that, No! What about No thanks.
Why not just get a boat that is wider and has more draft? Conoes seem like a stupid design.
