Just wondering if anybody knows anything about these? How do they handle how much does it weigh? And what is it worth? I would like to upgrade but don’t know enough about these.

I contacted the seller because I was interested if it was an actual Fisherman which is 14 feet. He has it listed as 16 feet which is a kingfisher. If it is a Fisherman it is 39 inches wide so short and wide. Would be good for what it is intended for, fishing and initial stability. It has a shall arch hall so has more secondary stability than the Old Town flat bottom canoes. I can't get the seller to respond to me about my questions, best of luck!

Forgot to mention Royalex version is 59lbs if it is the fisherman and not the Kingfisher.

I looked in Wenonah's 2014 catalog. The Fisherman in Royalex retailed for $1399. So, depending on its age and condition, maybe $600 is not a bad price. A Royalex Kingfisher retailed for $1699.

The Wenonah Fisherman is a super wide canoe. It is almost like paddling a pointy jon boat. It's a good canoe if you are trying to fish with wiggly dogs and or kids and don't have far to go.
