[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 259099, member: 8516"] Your choice, but some of the square stern canoes are build for stability as a paramount factor. Look around. I had a ?Stowe? fiberglass 15 foot, that was really just a narrow fishing boat. Came with oar locks, nice keel for tracking, and...trying to remember here...maybe 36in? across at gunnels. Sticks in my mind, because you really couldn't paddle it in the middle of the boat. Great watercraft, but I got hit by a truck and needed to sell stuff, so didn't use it much. I do remember putting a small motor on it and JETTING across the local lake. Just rocketed. Also seem to recall that you needed a learning curve on making turns; it would almost do a 180, because the front of the boat was high, with just me and the motor in the back. The father of an old friend had a...?Snipe?...aluminum, wide, square stern, canoe. Only saw it on a trailer, so can't speak to the weight. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
