Used to have a square stern Coleman I dubbed "The Pig". Learned how to float Missouri's rivers in before I purchased the boat above. I never had an engine on the pig but I sure wish I had sometimes as it was big, heavy and not easy to maneuver. When I got the boat above I could actually spin it around in one spot as it was so light and nimble.
The floating rule was a canoe is a one man craft and you better be self sufficient. From food to shelter to crap hole shovel to loading and unloading your own boat, you better be able to do it on your own. Boat above is 15'10" and less than 70 pounds.
