Great canoe for rivers and rapids (did class 3). Easy to control, steer, and keep in straight line. Feels solid, ridgid and secure, no creepy noises. Used for a 12-day expedition in Northern Ontario Rivers, and carried an initial total weight of 313 kg (691 lb) (2 persons and gear). No issues with it.
