This fiberglass canoe has been with me on many fishing and hunting trips. It is 15 ft long with a 38" beam and weights 52 lb. Easy to carry with the built in yoke. The back rests just slip in and makes for pleasant comfort for you and a fishing partner while fishing with a electric motor.... are The Leeboards made it possible to stand up while flycasting.... and prevents drifting too much. It has had tender loving care as it has always been stored under cover and away from the elements of weather. The motor mount makes this a wonderful fishing machine. I have never painted it as I did not want to add an ounce of weight.
