Smoothest, quietest, smoothest most comfortable canoe I have ever paddled. Own 2, a 17' and a 13'. Paddle 17' solo most of the time. Great load capacity and very stable.
I purchased my 17' Merrimack Traveler used five years ago. I use it as often as possible, even though it is a bit large for solo. So smooth! A great paddling boat. With the wood ribs & trim, it has the classic look of a wood and canvas canoe. Looking for another one to buy.
