when i'm alone I get right in the center of mine .....nice canoe rat ....please wear a vest

Ive always admired that style of canoe due to the lightweight, once ya get some stabalizers im sure it will be a fish catching machine!! good luck n be safe!!

:D nice rat. . Ditto on the life vest for open water ;). . . And ice picks on the hard water. . 😉. .

Nice little canoe, RAT! I had one of those once. I could throw it on top of my frame pack and carry it anywhere. One time I brought her down the Racquette River from Long Lake Village to Tupper Lake. Nice trip. I never spilled her when by myself, but add another person and I just knew we were going over. Never failed! 12 footers can be tippy. Long story short, I broke my leg and didn't use it for 7 years, so I donated it to a charity auction. Sure wish I had it now.
Enjoy it! ;D

Nice canoe rat!! now you need a kayak paddle to paddle it like I got.. please ask questions on how to out fit it!! Have tons of pointers.. iam sure othere do too .. by the way use to have a Radisson sports pal my self!! Great untippable canoe with a motor mount! Unless your trolling from it I would just get a kayak paddle.. and skip the motor mount my self.. I got a 2.5 hp motor and Mountil for My colemen canoe .. but don't use it prefer the kayak paddle it my self..

I have a canoe too (15') but after i bought a kayak....haven't touched the canoe since....have fun and be safe
