Last summer did a 6 day 5 night self contained trip on the Smith in Montana
in a Legend, but I will admit it was with 4 other tandem canoes, 11 people &
one yellow lab. We weren't lacking for room, and even brought the kitchen
table. So maybe I misused the word "tripping", what term should I have
used?

11 people and a yellow lab in 5 canoes, including a
Legend...backpacking out of a canoe? Four in the back, Four in the
front, one in the glovebox?

Did you carry all your own gear, plus your share of the kitchen/group
gear? I'm impressed...I have a BlueHole 17A, a MR Explorer 15 and a MR
Legend, and at 15' I find the legend too small to run loaded through
anything but the most forgiving class 1-2. For extended tripping, I
would not want a cooler, kitchen box, roll-a-table, chairs, fishing
gear, camping gear and personal duffel in there with me.
