(My canoes) have given excellent service and a lot of joy over many years. I splurged when I purchased them, getting both boats in Kevlar (the Prospector with a yellow gelcoat, the Solitude in ultralight), thinking that the light weight would encourage me to get them to the water. That was the right choice, for many reasons, and the greater cost spread over so many years now seems like nothing. Can’t thank you enough for your craftsmanship and carefulness.

I really enjoy this canoe but have lost it to my wife I am afraid. I let her use it once and now can’t get it back. It is the fiberglass version at 52 pounds but feels lighter.
The tractor seat is comfortable an adjustable and the canoe handles very well in waves and wind. Lots of volume for gear and makes a fantastic tripper. I find that it tracks outstandingly well and is very fast. It’s easy to keep up with tandem canoes. It turns well, but it wouldn’t be a good choice for a designated whitewater fun boat.
Good all round boat. Stuffed with 200 pounds of gear and my own 250+ pounds it handles well and is a very good tripper for non-technical trips
