    Odd question re: Center yoke

    So I went against Mr.Polings advice & got the Dagger Reflection 15. :geek: Other than getting used to a narrow canoe I really liked it. My dog shifting his weight and leaning against the side when I wasn't ready for it led to a buttclenching moment for sure. I also didn't get any oil canning...

    Ignorance is Bliss

    As the title says I may never experience what it's like to paddle a homemade canoe made from stripped cedar planks of the Abughangee mountains but I believe I found a keeper canoe. As soon as I put it in I could tell the difference. It sat on the water like a feather instead of a bath tub...

    Help ID this old canoe (urgent update page 3) :)

    OK. If you've read my thread in construction you know what I've went through on my newbie canoe buying journey. Long story short. Bought a tank, hated the tank, sold the tank. I have decided to go the cheap route & get something in the water I enjoy while saving my milk money to buy a fancier...
