[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 474409, member: 24227"] Salt water is no different than fresh water if you're in protected areas without much current and no waves. Big water always gets choppy in the wind - salt or fresh water. I think a 1432 is probably not enough boat for most tidal water areas. I wouldn't use one around here. It's not only the width, the height of the sides is pretty small. I added an outrigger made of 6" aluminum irrigation pipe to a canoe when I was a teenager - it worked great. It was rigged on only one side and provided lift if we tilted one way and provided counter weight if we tipped the other. But that doesn't solve your side height issue. I boat in salt marsh creeks. 6' tidal changes, lots of current, gets really choppy as you get closer to the bay on windy days. But, there are also a lot of smaller tidal pools off of the main creek where I would be comfortable in a smaller boat - I'm not sure how you get there though without traveling on the main creeks.
