Default Comments wanted on Oldtown Pack canoe

I just traded mine toward a kayak. I had the Pack for several years.
Yes they are light and easy to carry. However they are very unstable.
Last year I tried to rock mine to see how much lee-way I had before it
would tip. None. Leaned to the right and over and into the water I
went. ( I've also owned larger canoes over the years, so I do know how
they handle) If you are tall, they are also very cramped. I'm 6 ft
tall and it seemed like my knees were up to my ears while in that
canoe. It might be fine for an occasional half hour paddle, but for
anything longer, I don't think it's a very good canoe for the task.

appreciate comments from those familiar with this or other short,
light solo or double ender canoes.
