howdy all, new guy here in Utah. Recently purchased an 80s Viking Explorer that came with an outrigger. It was a stellar deal and it was is great shape. The versatility of the boat really drew me in. I was looking for some kind of water craft I could fly fish and camp from on bodies of water in and around utah and this just seemed too cool and perfect! Its 16ft, 89lbs, capacity of 1000lbs!!! People apparently fish from them, shoot rapids, and even cross the atlantic! I have always been a sailor and the canoe has the mount for a sail and a flat transom for a rudder/motor. Needless to say i am super excited to try her out! I am trying to plan where to camp for a short lake powell fishing trip next week actually...
I have been around water my whole life.. Grew up in northern NY, lived on the St lawrence River where i spent 19 years sailing, fishing, boating, water sporting, and all in all enjoying my youth! Its been hard for me living out here and not having instant access to water but I am coping! So if any one has some great weekend trip suggestions for me, speak up!
