Best I've ever paddled. I've owned a Klepper, an Alumacraft, a Coleman and still own a Sawyer Summersong, Hydra Minnow, Old Town tandem kayak and the Quetico 18.5. My Quetico has seen the Boundary Waters, Sylvania Wilderness, Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, Gile Flowage and the Manitowish River. Performance, capacity and portage-ability are all tremendous. Hope to paddle it on the Bowron Lake circuit, Miami River, Mad River and Kokosing should I live long enough.

Quetico 18.5 Carbon-Tec. Best I've ever paddled. Especially good for fat, old farts who've had a stroke seriously weakening the left arm. Canoed it in the Boundary Waters, Sylvania Wilderness, Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, Gile Flowage and more class I and II rivers than I can shake a stick at. I couples nicely with my custom Black Bart and my wife's Black Pearl. Easily carries all the gear I need on solo trips and all the gear my wife needs on tandem trips (and, trust me, she needs a lot of gear).
