Profile

We purchased this boat 20 + years ago in 1996 or 1997 and have paddled thousands of miles in the Great Lakes (mostly Lake Superior) and the Atlantic ocean (Penobscot Bay in Maine). It's the ONLY tandem we know of that will carry all you need for extended, 2-4 week wilderness trips that involve sometimes heavy seas. After many years, the steering cables needed replacing, and we've had to replace the seat backs (probably the weakest component) and a hatch cover. But the manufacturer has the parts available. A reviewer mentioned it wasn't car-toppable, and that may be true for them, but we've always car-topped it on vans and our Toyota Highlander. It's heavy, at around 95lb, but Yakima Hully Rollers and Showboat roller help a lot.
