I have had my Ranger Otter 16 for six weeks now and it is terrific!

People on rivers and in parking lots have stopped me to say how good it looks.

The handling is excellent, both solo and with a passenger.

I do not know much about canoe construction, but my brother is a composites engineer, and he was impressed with the workmanship with the Kevlar layup and the many weight-saving details of the design.

I also like the weight saving details- I can put the canoe on the roof of my car by myself without a struggle. I am seventy years old and got this canoe because my plastic tandem kayak was getting too heavy for me to transport.

It was a pleasure working with Mike. He answered the phone when I called and patiently answered all my questions. Be sure to ask him about the wooden paddles which he sells. The paddles are light and beautiful.
