Overview
Paddling a recreational canoe built from polypropylene, two people sit in a boat that is molded as one piece. Carrying handles are part of the molding for moving it from vehicle to water.
A light hull for its length and a very high weight capacity are the reasons to consider it for gear-heavy outings. The limitation is the narrow data set: width, depth and seat details are not given.
Who it's for
Couples and friends paddling on lakes and slow rivers will like the weight and the molded handles. Groups of three, anglers and whitewater paddlers should look at other boats.
Pros and cons
- Light for its length
- High weight capacity
- Molded carrying handles
- Width and depth missing
- Motor suitability not stated
- Warranty terms not described
Performance notes
Length and hull shape govern how straight a canoe tracks, and a longer boat usually holds a line better. Weight in the boat lowers it in the water and changes trim. The listing gives no hull shape, so how it handles wind is unknown.
