I have owned canoes for years but am not a great canoeist, finally taking paddling lessons at 71. Owned in order, OT Laker 14 my first in '83, Mad River Explorer restored from bare hull, Advantage too much for me and not a good fit, Argosy not a good fit for coastal flat water, OT Pathfinder I like it. Still have the Laker, Explorer and the Pathfinder. I've mostly used canoes to take me hunting and fishing but now I want to just canoe. A friend has two canoes for sell, a glass Independence project and a older kevlar Malacite. I want to take me and the 50 pound lab with fishing gear or maybe stick a small child in without much else. Weight is of little consideration, I have a trailer. I like them both. Thanks for the guidance
