Im looking into buying an Open/Canadian canoe but have little experience with them other than a stint through the Florida Everglades. It was fairly simple and stable. The one we used was an aluminium skin version but Im thinking of one in the tough plastics. If I had time Id like to try and build a Maple on but I don't have time
Primary purpose will be to try and fit a few kids and/or the cook and get out onto a few small lakes as well as drift down some of the local Hawkes Bay rivers. I had also though a run down the upper Mohaka or Ngaruroro would be fun once I get a bit of time under my belt.
Im thinking something decent sized will be better as I can cross it over for a hunting/fishing application. 16+'?
Anyone using them? One of the only replies I have got so far is "D Boat" from a mate. Whats a "D Boat" I ask? Divorce Boat he laughs back!
