I canoed a lot growing up in southern Mississippi; on lakes, rivers, bayous and out to the barrier islands in the Gulf, but always in an old kneeling only aluminum hand-me-down from my uncle. After 2 back surgeries, I was a little apprehensive about getting back in a canoe at all. That is until a co-worker of mine introduced me to the Old Town Saranac 146. The seats and seat backs are incredible. I can stay in this canoe all day without the slightest strain on my back. Since I have bought my own, I've only missed one weekend on the water.
The amenities included; rod holders, drink holders, dry storage, carry handles, and the list goes on and on, make this canoe a value by themselves but add the comfort and it becomes a dream come true! Despite it's weight; 79lbs, this canoe is highly manageable loading and unloading with one person. Now this 48yr old is feeling like a kid again in the lakes, rivers and bayous of southeast Texas. See Y'all on the water!
