Any plastic boat is plenty strong for the uses you described.

Hi Steve, I hope you are right. I hope this Corelite stuff can be
classed in that category of 'any plastic'. But if the dealers are to
be believed, it is a 'new' material in some respect. I am reluctant to
trust a 'new' material until it has stood the test of time. I'm hoping
to get some clues as to how well this new material (if indeed it *is*
a new material) stands up to real-life wear and tear.

I would have liked to have asked the dealer if he'd mind if I tried
putting a hole in one of his new canoes with (a) a hammer, and (b) a
chisel, but somehow I knew he wouldn't oblige.
