Re:Need help picking a Canoe! 17 Years, 6 Months ago  
Hey Buzz,
The coleman I have is on the cheaper side I think. No problems with the material yet. I keep it hung from the rafters in my garage, but I'm sure UV has the potential to weaken it. It does have the tube frame (central tube along the bottom may be a couple pieces). What's the concern with the tube frame (so I can avoid it)? That the tubes can bend permanently? When strapping to the roof my main ties are on the bow and stern, but use the cross members to keep it centered.

On a side note, has anyone used slightly shorter? 15' seems nice for two, but can be a little unwieldy solo so I've been watching for a slightly smaller one.

I've noticed when wind drifting that the speed can get out of control, do you ever use a drogue to slow up?

Thanks, Eric
