I am taking entering EP47 in a couple weeks with my wife and 12 month old daughter. I am curious as to what canoe is the most stable. I have the following options: 17 or 18.5 fit aluminum cruiser, Wenonah Royalex, 2 person Kevlar canoes, a Wenonah MN 2 or Souris River 18.5 Quetico. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks Joshua |

I have no idea on canoe stability as I'm a true rookie and we only have 1 canoe and that's what we use. We will also be entering ep47 in a couple of weeks. We enter 9/5! Maybe we'll see ya on the water? Good Luck, ~MOgirl |

I go in on the 30th, but I will be sure to give you a trip report. Do you have a "game plan" yet? I have not been to this part of the BW. Joshua |

With kiddo along, you likely do NOT need anything more "stable" than without kiddo at that age. I assume 12 month old is not climbing over packs the way my preschool/elementary kids do now. 12 month old will stay where you put her, weigh next to nothing, so toddling from one side to the other won't be a huge influence on where canoe goes, etc. Pick a canoe you'd be OK soloing or paddling tandem, and you should be fine adding a 12 month old to the mix. WANT THAT TRIP REPORT!! Have a great great time! |
