Hi: I was wondering if anyone here has experience paddling either one of these canoes? If so, what are your impressions and why did you choose one of these boats.
Thank You!

I have a Kee 15 in Kev Fusion layup
Usually use bent shaft paddle but do sometimes switch to kayak paddle
Beautifully finished workmanship.
Tracks very well, yet easy to carve turns. Responds well and predictably to off side lean. Chines let waves slide under without much catching
Loaded or inloaded boat handles very well. Would buy one again for sure.

Have also paddled the Kee 14 with pack seat with kayak paddle
Whoosh....veeery quick sprints

Thanks for the info! I'm a medium sized guy and I'm curious how you feel about it's size? Does your boat have the double seat pods?
