We find the Aire Traveler inflatable canoe to be very stable and capable. It is self bailing which is nice. It is not fast. I find that on small twisty rivers, it works best to operate more like a small rubber raft and point an end at the bank and pull away; rather than operating as a more traditional hard sided canoe. We opted for an inflatable, as it works well with our 5th wheel trailer adventures, without needing elaborate hauling gear. If you are considering an inflatable, and are willing to "go with the flow", this is a very capable and rugged option. If planning to operate as a single user, you would likely want the optional rowing frame, as it is not very handy for a single operator to paddle.
