What reviewers say
Paddling Magazine calls it compact and nimble for two or three people, with less speed and room than the longer Saranac 160. Owners like the stability, the seat backs and the fishing setup for ponds and lakes. Some owner reviews report the hull bottom warping or going wavy in heat, so store it out of the sun. It is a calm-water boat, not a tripping canoe.
Good
- Very stable flat bottom
- Seat backs and center bench for a third person
- Rod and cup holders molded in
- Good price for a family canoe
Not so good
- 79 lb is heavy for its length
- Some reports of hull warping in heat
- Slow and not built for long trips or rough water
Who it's for
Families and pond anglers who want a steady canoe for short outings. Skip it if you plan river trips with lots of gear or long portages.
