Looks great good value too. More adventures on the water. Thanks for filming all the best Pete 🛶

I've just picked one of these up preowned, can't wait to get out on the water

Certainly looks like a nice canoe for that price. I will disagree with you on inflatables being useless though. They certainly have their limitations, such as tracking through the water, paddling in a headwind & being susceptible to underwater protrusions. But my Explorer K2 tracks pretty well with the skeg attached and I can pick up a fair speed once moving. For me it's just about getting on the water. That said, if I had the money to spare I'd probably purchase a nice hard shell, Canadian canoe. Happy paddling👍

I found the best cheap thing to put under the ratchets are a couple of squares of cardboard cut from an old cardboard box.

First ❤
