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..
