This boat may be heavy by some standards, at a little over 80 lbs, but that's not bad for a 17 foot plus canoe. The material is very tough, a fair tradeoff for the weight and price.
It handles very well for its size. It feels a little unstable at first, but the low initial stability is what allows it to turn well. The secondary stability is great, so after just a few minutes you get comfortable and have fun.
It's large enough that my wife and I can both flyfish from it at the same time.
