Don't just take my word for it! I took it out yesterday with a canoe instructor friend who has been on the water for about 50 years. We paddled tandem & solo in my new Mohawk 15T, and we were both thrilled. Stability -- initial & secondary -- was excellent, it turned on a dime, tracked beautifully. We were on a slow river, put her to the lean test in a huge eddy, then ventured into and ferried across some fairly turbulent crosscurrents in a Class I-II rapid. I had considered about 1/2 dozen other craft in my search for a solo/tandem, flat/moving water, lightweight boat under $1000. This is IT!
