Have had my green royalex/ash gunwaled Revelation almost 10 years. Not as fast as my other two canoes but by far my favorite. My wife and I have done most of the rivers in northern Indiana and a few lakes. (it has no issues paddling down current) I only use Watco danish oil on the wood and winter store it hanging in my unheated garage. I take out the first seven fasteners each side on both ends and back out the rest and place shims between deck and hull for winter.
As far as I'm concerned when it comes to canoes it doesn't get any better than this.
