Pm sent to seller, thanks!

Looked it up on the web; made by marathon marine. A little concerned about specs, I may have up to 4 people in this boat. If it were just for me and my dad, that's better.

But 40 inches wide (ok) and 14 inches deep (not good at all) it's dicey. I used a 17 footer last year with 15 inches of depth, I was left with 1.5 to 2 inches of freeboard after load. Scary. And that was just a day trip with less batteries and no camping equipment.

Would prefer a canoe with at least 44 inches of width and 18 inches of depth. You bet; I am super picky! Lol. I figure if I am going to buy a canoe, buy it right! This is why Big Bull's advice is best; just build one!

Anyways, at least I'll the issue taken care of for this year via the rental. Allows me to be that picky!

Mike

P.S. Nice shot of Maligne Big Bull!
