I've been in and out, LOL of canoes my entire life. I've been enjoying my Placidboatworks Rapidfire for about seven years now. I do most of my trips in northern Maine, Vermont, the Adirondacks, just returned from the Debsconeag Loop near Millinocket Maine last week. Really happy I found this website ! I like sharing my trips on my Toutube channel " Meet Me Outside " Cheers !
