I'm looking to purchase my first canoe and I'm located in NE Texas - willing to drive up to about 4 hours one way to get the right canoe.
My needs:
I have 3 little kids - ages 2, 4, and 6. I'd like to get them out on the water with a fairly stable canoe and not have to worry too much about it tipping them out too often. Would love to be able to get my wife and all 3 kids in it if possible... Planning to attempt some canoe/camping trips also if possible.
I'm mainly looking at still water - I have lakes around me and some few rivers, but nothing fast or rocky. Probably won't get up to Beavers Bend or similar but once or twice a year.
My budget is kinda low (I can't afford $1000 right now, kids ya know?)
Open to anything that would fit the bill, but it looks like a nice Royalex Penobscot or Camper from Old Town would be good places to start - again, open to others
