Profile

I got my first 17' Discovery Sport around 12 years ago and have enjoyed many day trips with my wife and 3 kids, fishing days on rivers and lakes, and lots of 3 and 4 day river trips with friends. It's always served my exceptionally well with never a complaint. I usually paddle it but often put the 4 hp Evenrude on for the family outings. I added some camo swivel folding back boat seats last year which made fishing more enjoyable. I picked up a second 17' DS just last week for only $850 and it's in even better condition than my first one. It will be great having a second boat for friends without and for when our kids get bigger.

These boats paddle great considering their size and yes you can paddle them solo - I've personally taken mine on multi day trips down the Cains River in New Brunswick and loved it! If you can find one and don't mind moving a 120 lb canoe from, storage, to trailer, to water and back, then buy it - you'll love it.
