Carl, from what I see on Wenonah's website, they have a Flex Core Tuf-Weave and a Flex Core with Aramid (newer version of Kevlar?). I have a buddy who might be interested. If you can email me some pics and any other clarifying information, I'll pass it along to him.

The Sundowner tandem, you mentioned it needs some work. Would you be concerned taking it out prior to working on it (i.e. would it take on water)? And how repairable is it to someone that's never done canoe repairs before? Not afraid to try, but don't want to make it worse either.
I've got a wilderness trip planned in the UP this summer with my soon-to-be 12 year old son. Wanting to start going at least once a year and looking for a canoe that can hold decent amounts of gear without weighing 100 lbs or being too much work for him to bow paddle. Maybe BWCA some day, but smaller versions first (Sylvania, Big Island Lake Wilderness, etc).
I'm not interested in a "cheap" canoe, but not looking to drop a small fortune on a top of the line option either. Would you consider this to fit the scenario pretty well?
Thanks in advance for your time.
