If it paddles like it looks it's a good high volume tripper, that can be freestyled. I could put my Moccasin over to the gunnels and spin it like a top. Wiggly at first (round bottom) but LOTS of secondary stability. Very good in wind and waves. butthead |

quote mwd1976: "If the drops are that high it is setup to be kneeled in and will feel very tippy if you're sitting. If you are a sitter (I'm not) you'll notice a huge difference if you drop the seat down. It might take a little while to get it set up just how you want it, but once you do all that uneasy tippy feeling will go away." Mark right you are, kneeling pads are installed and there is plenty of room to get your feet under the seat. Thing is, as I have gotten older the old knees just ain't what they use to be. I wouldn't hesitate to drop down on my knees when the whitecaps are a rollin', just can't do it all day long. Trial and error time I'm sure with your guys help I'll get it right. Thanks JB |

I read one short post from Cliff Jacobson himself about the canoe other than that not much out there. He stated it is a good beginner canoe, but doesn't hold a candle to the newer models out there now. Hay everyone has to start somewhere. Thank Guys JB |
