I love this boat for its versatility. We use it recreationally paddling down the Erie Canal or in Irondequoit Bay, NY. Extremely stable and easy to paddle. It also has oar locks in case you feel like rowing. It is double ended so it is comfortable paddling forward or in reverse. It came with an adapter to attach a side mounted trolling motor in the rear.
I have no problem paddling/rowing this boat alone. The foam lining does a great job in deadening the typical noise issues of an aluminum canoe, but the squeaks my husband can create while fidgeting scare the fish just as bad.
