Square Stern Canoes are a premier sporting canoe. Unusual stability and safety make this fine canoe excellent for family recreation. Stretch-formed out of hardened aircraft aluminum and lined with eathafoam (closed cell polyethylene) they won't sink and the lining makes the canoe very quiet. Fully loaded and swamped with water, your Square Stern Canoe will continue to float upright. Swimmers or hunting dogs can climb in from the water and the Square Stern Canoe won't tip. A wide, flat bottom, coupled with the side eathafoam sponsons, makes the Square Stern Canoe virtually untippable. The Square Stern Canoe was especially designed for fishing and hunting. A duck hunters gun's recoil will not flip the Square Stern Canoe and the dog can climb in and out for retrieving game. Being very light, it is easy to transport. And, of course, since you virtually cannot sink a Square Stern Canoe, all that valuable gear that sportsmen carry have less chance of accidental loss. Additionally, the canoe design gives you much more room than many duck or layout boats. The Square Stern Canoe is designed to give year-round use, adaptable to many sports activities.
