Ha ha thanks. Its quite the machine thats for sure. Made in the mid 90s in British Columbia from whay ive found in my research. And we paid 800 for the boat and the trailer. I figured worst came to worst the trailer and motor i could sell foe more than that if i didnt like it. But i love it. And it draws quite the attention when out on the water!

Anybody got a recommendation on a rack for a soft top that could handle a 14' aluminum canoe? I know what's out there, but I'm hoping for some real world stories. I have a Yakima rack off my old explorer that I'd like to reuse if possible. Maybe a cheap trailer?

Kongo Rack. I have one on my JKU that I use for my two-seater kayak. It would easily handle it.

I'll post a photo later.

Recently picked up this guy. I'm a canoe instructor, but thought I'd pick up a kayak. Not sure if I'm going to hang on to this one or not. It's long and fast, but no good for fishing, nor is it good for whitewater. I think I'll give it a few weeks and see how I like it. I'd at least like the chance to find out if I can Eskimo roll something this big.

🇨🇦 eh?
 
If your hip snap is good the extra length shouldn't cause any problems with your roll. A bunch of extra width can make things a little more interesting though, especially in rough water.
 
Just repainted the outside. For 20 years old it's really in great shape, especially for how much we use it. Currently off to get some motor work done, then back in the water!

Nope. Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145. I actually scored it for free because I'm friends with the local distributor. It show up bent so he was told to toss it. Instead, took a heat gun to it and bent it back into shape. Can't even tell it was ever damaged.

🇨🇦 eh?
