"You really can't beat the Pelican Navigator as a low cost way to get into canoeing. It's extremely affordable, lightweight, and quite stable in the water. It's light enough to handle by myself, though a pivoting canoe loader makes loading it on the roof of my car much easier. It does scratch and gouge fairly easily, but I'm sure alot of boats made of the same material have that problem. They say the Navigator is not intended for whitewater use, but I find it's ideal for recreational use on calm lakes and slow-moving rivers. About my only other complaint is that I periodically have to reposition the keelson bar, as it will shift a couple of inches toward one end of the canoe or the other, probably shifting during my handling while loading and unloading it. But I'm very thankful for that same bar, as it adds great rigidity to the boat, and totally eliminates the possibility of any "oilcanning". All in all, I love my Navigator. If your canoe budget is relatively low like mine was, you'd be hard pressed to find a better boat for the price."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
