You're obviously not familiar with the Pelican Explorer canoe, also.

Just to let you know, my canoe is VERY similar to the one found at


Give it up, I'm very familar with your canoe. I've been pulling these things
out of rivers for almost 25 years. It's a thin poly boat reinforced with
aluminum tubing. The only thing that these boats have going for them is that
they are just about the cheapest canoe you can buy. If that is your only
concern, then why bother posting. If you actually think it is a wonderful
performing boat, then you haven't ever tried a real canoe.

A quick web search can give you a dozen canoes that are within $150 dollars of
the retail on these boats. Many of these are far superior canoes in both
durability and performance. Why do you think that these are marketed to what
amounts to the non-paddling public? Because anyone that has done a bit of
research and demoed a few boats, or has paddling experience, doesn't buy them.
