Great Canoe for the Price

"I had been looking for a decent canoe for a decent price for a while, this one really fit the bill! I have used it in both small ponds, and also on the Mississippi River. It handles both extremely well. I am preparing to put it through the rigors next spring witha BWCA trip, I am a little bit concerned about the amount of room to put stuff, but that's probably good to keep me from packing too much! It can b..." Read Full Review »

"This canoe is VERY unstable and has very short side walls. This makes it VERY easy to tip over, one small mistake and your wet. I only tipped my last canoe one time in many years of use.

"For the money....It's a good boat. Have had mine for 10 years. It doesn't do any one thing exceptional, but does alot of things well. It's pretty stable, does well on flatwater but slow. If you use it for flatwater, it won't pile on miles too quickly. Manuevers in rivers well because of it's short l …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a pretty nice canoe. Its comfortable, fast, and maneuverable. I use mine for mostly class 2-3 rivers for day trips and on big multi-night trips. This canoe is meant for passengers I'd say no more than 200lbs each, it becomes a lot less maneuverable when there are bigger guys in it. Also when …"  Read Full Review »

"I've had this boat for about a year and it's a great all 'round canoe. It is a bit on the heavy side but it's certainly managable. It's a very rugged boat, I've hit rocks, branches, stumps, dragged rocky bottoms, etc....and it takes the abuse with only some scuffs and scratches. The boat is quite …"  Read Full Review »

"Its a nice river boat, The material is tough and the smooth. Its heavy.
