A nearly 17-foot tandem canoe built from three-layer polyethylene. Camps, outfitters and families pick it because it carries a huge load and shrugs off rocks.

What reviewers say
Paddling Magazine and owners describe it as very stable and nearly impossible to hurt on rocks and logjams. A Maine guide writing for Old Town praises it for loaded river trips. Families like that kids and dogs can move around without tipping it. The big knock is weight: at 91 lb it is a two-person carry and a hard boat to portage. It is not fast, and it was not made for standing.
Good
- Very durable hull
- Massive gear capacity for long trips
- Stable for kids, dogs and gear
- Can be paddled solo when needed
Not so good
- 91 lb is heavy to load and portage
- Slow next to lighter tripping canoes
- Pricier than basic family canoes
Who it's for
Families, Scout groups and river trippers who want a canoe that takes abuse and hauls camping gear. Skip it if you will portage often or load it alone.
