On my recent buying of a Pack Angler canoe had my wife wondering if I had lost my mind! I am over six two and lets say to proud to push myself away from a good meal. I was going to sink! I am more than happy this is the best canoe I have ever had. Granted you can't move around in it like a larger canoe it is Ideal for fishing. And if you stay on smaller lakes I would rate this canoe one of the best. I my never get in a full size boat again.
