Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

[Black_Fly]

I have consistently overloaded my canoe on trips. I can no longer handle the weight of my kit and dog too. The magic just isn’t big enough. Looking at a Northwind solo or another Prism. Haven’t found one, seeking other options.

Doesn’t seem to be many used canoes in this size category. Not much new inventory at my usual shops.

Have you considered soloing a tandem? I would think that on average they would be more stable and carry a heavier load than a solo boat in a similar length. My composite Bell Seliga is 17' and only weighs 40 lbs. and was great on the solo trips I did with it.
