After having the Michicraft L-12 for two years and using it on eight trips on three different rivers, a flowage, and a 130 acre lake, I can say it is excellent when accompanied by a 3HP motor, but an absolute beast when trying to paddle. I originally planned to use it with a 3HP rated electric motor so it meets my needs.

I’ve loaded it up with two adults, a 30 lb dog, cooler and overnight camping gear (plus weight of motor and battery, total 40lbs) and it is very stable. Space is limited so you have to be strategic when using it on overnight camping-canoe trips.

I ordered it through a vendor in Illinois. It took around 4 months to be built and delivered, so plan ahead.
