Advice on canoe

Post by **joseph** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:52 am

I need to part with my 17 ft flatbottom squareback canoe. It has served me well over the years but I cannot store it on my back verranda, and yearly storage expense adds up over time. At best, I can store something that is 14ft long or less. I need a craft that can accomodate two people. I have looked at inflatables and folding canoes. Suggestions welcome.

Zodiac's are an excellent choice for someone who wants an easy to store and stable boat. They have held up in the most punishing surf for years and are still the boat we use today in the U.S. military and now Canada's too. You can get vey shallow with them however with motor not as shallow as a canoe but, can handle much heavy weather. Fits four easily but, for fishing I would want two. they will hold up if you meet a rock or log you didn't know about either.
