Recently bought a 1988 Sawyer X-17 with the Superlite layup; 17 feet long, 36 inches wide, weighs ~50 pounds. Our first family canoe. There is enough room for me, wife, and two kids to cruise together and for everyone to paddle when alternating sides. Tracks well and turns well with opposing sweep strokes and other maneuvers. Sliding bow seat is great to adjust for an adult or kid up front and the stern foot brace is quite nice, first time in a canoe with one. Looking forward to hours and miles of smiles in this canoe!
