I bought my guide 119 in the spring of 2012. I have paddle it over a 1,000 in MS, AR, LA, AL. My husband and I paddle all year round and do several camping trips a year. (3-5 days up to 50 miles at times) I pack my guide 119 to the max with camping gear and still have plenty of room. I have paddled easily in class 1 and class 2 rapids with my packed canoe. It tracks well and I use a single blade 4 foot paddle. I am 5' 7". I love my "Little Red Canoe" and I am refered to as "The Lady in the Little Red Canoe" My husband paddles a dugout canoe he carved out of a poplar tree. He is referred to as "The Man in the Dugout Canoe" He is the one that recommended the old town guide 119 to me. We log all of our trips on Fb The Man in the Dugout Canoe.
