The H2Pro is classic; a classic DOG. Few ww boats have been as poorly
designed as this one. I was ****ed off at OT for such a screw-up for years,
until they produced the best 16' canoe ever made, the Appalachian. But,
can't get them all right.

The BH Sunburst is a rare duck, and not worth considering as the royalex
shrinkage during molding, like the early OT Tripper, put the gunwales too
near the waterline, but its newer brother, the Sunburst II is another
matter. It's long for solo ww by today's standards, but as a long-distance
tripping boat, or as a class III/IV tandem craft, it's a keeper. Most are
rather worn by now as it was the ONLY solo ww canoe on the market for a few
years, until the Mad River ME was produced, and lots of now old geezers (no
fingers, please) cut their teeth, and their bottoms, on this classic.

The Old Town H2Pro is an absolute classic and would be WONDERFUL for
tripping. It's kind of a "mix" between the XL13 and the Encore. More
nimble in handling than the XL and will carry a huge payload. Grab
this boat if you can get it.

Also, if the "Blue Hole" is a solo canoe, it's probably the Sunburst
I've been raving about and would be PERFECT for whitewater tripping.
Blue Hole is an absolute classic!
