You have yourself a great canoe there Jack!
Of all the canoes I own, have owned, or have paddled, the Sawyer Cruiser is still my favorite tandem canoe. A modern day classic in my opinion. Throughout much of the 1980's, it was our primary cruising, canoe-camping and Quetico/BWCAW tripping canoe.
As fadersup has mentioned though, the Cruiser is not particularly well suited for large waves, although it is better than a Jensen 18 in that regard. It's also not particularly suited to large, heavy loads either, because of it's low volume. For that reason, my primary big trip, big water tripping tandem canoe has been a Wenonah Odyssey. Nevertheless, the Cruiser is still an awesome canoe for most waters and our "go to" tandem canoe when we are not paddling our solos. In fact, my wife and I were out paddling our Sawyer Cruiser last Sunday.
The Cruiser is a beautiful paddling canoe that we use regularly on local lakes, rivers and on trips of a week or less, although we have done Quetico and BWCAW trip of up to two weeks in a Cruiser.
Enjoy!
