My wife and I purchased the Saranac 146 canoe last summer. We use it in ponds and lakes for site seeing, fishing, and pleasure cruises. It tracks great and is very stable in windy and storm conditions. We are very happy with the purchase. If you're in the market for a nice all-around comfortable, stable, and inexpensive canoe make sure you give this one a look. It's a chore for 1 person to load but easy for 2.
