I have a perception swifty and a wilderness systems palmico 120, just wondering if they can be painted, if so, what's the best way, thanks
Yes. However you want, just don't use watercolor. There are some special spray paints for painting canoes, but they come in fairly simple colors. I'd get some outdoor spray paint and use paper/masking tape to make clean lines…
You know of course that it's going to come off real quick as you scrape it against rocks, just like any painted logos on your boat scrape off.. the only color that lasts is mixed in with the plastic when they make it. But don't worry about the paint hurting your boat.

if you're by yourself? The front seat or the back?
Good question . Ideally you should sit slightly behind the center of the kayak. The kayak needs to be slightly bow light. That said, you should sit in the rear seat. You need to add ballast to the front seat to bring the bow down. Be sure the ballast is secure. Water bags are one ballast to try, sand bags another. Sometimes wind will dictate the seating. Head wind? Use the front seat. Tail wind? Use the rear seat.

me and some friends were hoping to go on a kayaking trip in arkansas. we wanted to go down a pretty easy river into some arkansas wilderness, mayb in the ozarks? anyways.. we arent amazing kayakers, just simple rapids and stuff. we are very good backpackers tho and we just want to plan a 4 day trip to get away. o ya and mayb some good fishing? any one have any ideas??
Buffalo River will be a good one.
But Arkansas is also known as the Natural State, so please check out the first reference as well.
Have fun and good luck.
