A mat is fine if you dont mind portaging the thing, personally id rather take more beer than a mat.

I looked at the watco products, this really is more of a varnish than an oil, is it not? if your worried about blisters, some manufacturers will leave the grip unvarnished, and they will oil the grip.

yes i did... but i have reason to believe it is about 4-6 lbs heavy. the scale said 68lbs, but i weighed my daughter the day before on a different scale it read 34lbs and on this scale it said 38lbs, so i am guessing if it is a liniarity issue the weight of the boat is out by 4-6lbs. I knew it would...
