As a flat bottom canoe, it really flies, but the weight of the gasoline motor on one end is quite noticeable.Ī battery operated trolling motor is quite appropriate, no noticeable weight, and works well. Wide (outside) and has been used to support a small gasoline boat motor. Accommodates 3 adults with supplies, or two people with copious supplies. The canoe is 13 inches deep and 36 inches wide at the center thwart.The bow has an air lock inside the pointed bow.Įven when full of water, this canoe floats. There is a bow seat, with the rear seat being the top of a flat surface covering an air lock.Once I transported it on a really rough logging roads in Canada.
The strength of the body of the canoe is such that it can be placed on the top of a vehicle and both ends heavily tied down to the respective ends of the car for transport on long, rough road trips. Has three major thwarts (bar from one side to the other), with a little 4th near the stern.
With the flat bottom, it is actually somewhat difficult to tip over.
