Also, the frame is there to stiffen the hull since it is fairly thin material. If you ever did take this canoe in a river and wrapped it, it would be all over (same with an aluminum canoe). The thin plastic hull would most likely rupture, and the frame would be permanently ruined. On Old Town, Mad River, and others, the hull is made of a layered material called Royalex that has great memory. When these canoes get wrapped, they simply pop back out to their original shape.

Mine (Coleman Scanoe) does have the tubular frame and I did wrap it (not the frame fortunately) and it still popped back into shape. No rupture in the body either. That was about 20 years ago and it's still doing strong.
