This was our first canoe and we love it. It's a war horse mind you at almost 90 lbs. it is a bit hard to wrangle on and off the Jeep solo. The stability is amazing, very difficult to flip! I take it solo and row it with oars on river trips from 3-5 days. It handles all the gear and still rows easy. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an expedition canoe!

I've had a Greenland II for 18 years and love it. It's very versatile, I've checked it at the airports several times years ago and took it to the Bahama's once. Handling is nice, it's wide beam makes for good stability. It's a bit slow of course and and hard turns require practice and effort. It's got a 600 lb. payload so the main reason we bought it was for long trips with full camping cooking gear. It's never really let us down.

Be cautious when in moving water, the Greenland definitely favors bigger bodies of water, the hull damages easily in shallow rivers. It's very seaworthy though and flexes well in waves and surf. It's served us very as intended we do have a canoe and a hard shell kayak also though so give thought to its uses before you buy it as your only boat.
