I just got a kayak that looks like squirrels made a nest in it and a lot of clay mud in it like they just let it lay in the mud.. Yes, take it apart and clean it. Good video.

We are looking at getting a couple longer yaks in the future and maybe some for white water

I bought a used Liquid Logic Jefe last week. Got a real solid deal for 260. Hull lines are pristine but it could use a clean up. Outfitting works fine and no tears or rips. I’m getting some 303, your boat looked almost new afterwards, Amazing product. I have only been rafting so far. I was in BV Colorado last weekend doing Browns Canyon. I still have to get my essential gear. Thanks for the great work Wade. I can’t wait to get on the whitewater 🤙

Oh I paddled the WS Habitat Few years ago Its still a pretty good boat Let me know how the restore goes?

Glad to see I'm not the only one that's resorted to bolt cutters while replacing outfitting.

Thanks for sharing this process. I have an old plastic kayak, Lobo model, and the UV has deteriorated the surface of kayak. No holes or cracks. Would the 303 Protectant help seal the kayak, or is there another product that would extend it's life? When I'm paddling I have to sponge out water that seeps in from the bottom about every 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, afraid it will sink! Thanks for any recommendations.....

Do you think you could change the plastic waka safety grips to the metal dagger ones?

Great video wade! I just bought a used nomad and am cleaning it up using your video as a guide. However I’ve hit a roadblock - the bolt connecting the step out pillar to the seat must have been over tightened in the past and it just spins freely when I try to loosen it. Any advice for getting that out? Should I drill a hole on the bottom of the center channel to access the nut?

@WadeHarrison

Sounds like a broken inset best bet it pull it out take the seat and wall out and pry it apart then when put back together screw it together from both sides using wood screws it won’t be pretty but unless you can find a new seat not much can do

center bolt that holds the seat into the step out pillar seems to be stripped in mine and I can't get it out, any advice on how to fix that?

Yeah You have the whole insert twisted out If its new probably get a warranty if Not you will have to drill through the side and nut and bolt it

Great video I'm always getting second hand boats. Will any multi cleaner do instead of purple power ? As it's coming in at €50 for the bottle here in Ireland. Fantastic video more of these please 😊
