I kind of did that once. It was really fun. For a couple years I bought a ton of different canoes whenever I found a good deal. Some I kept but most I resold, some at a loss and some at a profit. I got to paddle a lot of different hull shapes and learned a lot about what I like and what I don't like.

I have a Traveller III. Can confirm that it is fast. I also enjoyed the comments above on "tender" and stability as "not good." I would just say "tippy." Better with some weight in it, but it's not a flat-bottomed boat. Overall a joy to paddle if you're paying attention. (I don't know if still is still helpful to the original poster, but sharing here in case others are interested in this model.)

I believe that I am the lucky guy that bought the canoe in the photo at the beginning of this post. I have a cabin in Minnesota near the BWCA and after my first trip this spring I started looking. Most of my experience is in kayaks. I had hoped to find an open-deck canoe that was light and narrow enough to paddle like a solo kayak. This boat suits me very well. It's quick, handles headwinds exceptionally well and is maneuverable enough for my use. Thanks again Tim !!!
