			<description><![CDATA[ I believe you should look at the Old Town &quot;Pack&quot; canoe before you buy any canoe in the 12-13 ft. range. I own and fish a 17ft. Grumman aluminum canoe
with what they called a &#39;whitewater shoe keel&#39; in 1976 when I bought it , and a &#39;shallow draft&#39; keel now. I want a &#39;Pack&#39; as a solo fly
fishing canoe (still water, mostly, for Bass &amp; Bream). ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had a Radison 12&#39; double ender a few years back. ( near identical to the sports pal and they sued them to prove it!). I LOVED the weight, portability and
width/stability of the boat. I didn&#39;t like those cheap foam seats at all.  I used to use a short legged beach chair for comfort but would get a real canoe
seat if ordering one. Tried mine with electric, paddle and rowing.  Any method work OK but you <em>need to trim the boat right</em>  with extra weight and/or
seat position or it... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Consider getting a double bladed paddle for covering longer distances.  They are very efficient, fast, fun to paddle and good exercise.  When you reach your
fishing destination, you can break it down and use half of it to propel the boat around while you are fishing.  I used one with my canoe for years and loved
it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Once you put a motor on it you&#39;ve got to deal with the Commonwealth, so when you do get yourself a canoe, don&#39;t buy a motor unless you are certain you
need it.  Paddling is good exercise, especially when combined with lifting weights over the gunwale!

When I am alone I turn the canoe around, sitting in the bow seat facing the stern. and place my knees over the carry yoke. This way I am sitting more in the
middle of the canoe. I do use an electric tolling motor on occasion.

I had longer electric cables put on the motor so I could place the battery on the other end of the canoe for... ]]></description>

I think Alec covered it all very well but I would like to stress the thinness of the aluminim on these. Most of the used ones I saw had repairs or leaked. The
foam lining does make for a stealthy approach.

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve known several sportsman that have used Sportspal canoes with great success. I like &#39;em. They are very light and perfect for stillwater
flyfishing. I wouldn&#39;t reccomend them for whitewater rivers, but for pond and small lake paddling and fishing they are great - very light, (the 12&#39;
model weighs less than 40 lbs.) and very quiet; they are lined with a foam that keeps the clanging that is the bane of aluminum canoes at bay.

			<description><![CDATA[ Depends where you&#39;re gonna use it. You may find a 15 footer more stable and not difficult to handle alone. I used to own a 17&#39; Grumman that was almost
impossible to capsize. Was able to car-top it alone - it&#39;s all about the &quot;technique&quot;.
