Any recommendations on where to send a dry suit to have the neck, cuff, and leg seals replaced?

I think Murray's sends them out to someone. I'll give them a call.

I wish...see my other thread...still trying to get a spot at the club.

Murray's does the seal replacement in-house...I've seen them do it to one of my older suits.

You still looking for a new boat? I can get you a sweet deal on an older Tornado...Might throw in a Eurovan as well 🙂

Mike, you getting rid of the Marstrom? Not the Eurovan too! I have such fond memories being stranded in an ice storm in Texas in that thing.

Kokatat did mine for a reasonable price. Of course, It's a Kokatat drysuit. I've had such good service from them I'll never buy anything else.

Nope & Nope!

Trying to get the Marstrom installed at a club in Vancouver is proving very difficult...none of the 5 or 6 clubs has space for a cat...all have multi-year wait lists. Trying to swing some kind of buy-an-old-boat-with-yard-spot-dispose-of-the-boat-swap-in-mine type of deal. I did sell my Mini Cooper & the Wife's Beetle before moving. The Vancouver public transit system is so great I have not needed to drive to work once for the past 3 months. Van is stuffed into a tiny parking spot at my apartment's underground garage. I'll see how much use we get out of it this summer and decide if there's justification to keep it long term.

Keep the Westy, trust me you'll kick yourself in the butt for selling it.

Re the repair, mine are sewn in, not that easy to do.

Amigos drysuit repair in North Carolina. I highly recommend them. They are also a Kokotat dealer. Tell Charlie that Team Seacats says hello.
