My green Ram-X 15' 6" "Explorer DLX" may not be the fastest
or most easily paddled canoe out there but, by gum, it's
extremely tough, extremely stable, and was amazingly inexpensive
to purchase at the local "Dick's" sporting goods store! Also,
it's a WONDERFUL boat for the purposes I use it for - fishing,
recreational paddling on placid park lakes, and occasional
trips down the slow, scenic rivers in the Midwest.
