I can't speak of that canoe specifically, but I have an older model of the Old Town Sportsman with the square back and it's absolutely unreal. I have absolutely beat the ever loving bejebuz out of it and you can't even tell. The seats are great, the hull is indestructable... I love the thing. If I had to decide on a downside, it would be the weight. It's a tank, but then again, it's way more of a boat than a canoe. Actually, my 14' V-hull boat has about 300lbs less capacity than the canoe.
