You’re going to love it. Congratulations.
Congrats! Enjoy!
Just shuffle it around with the others on the rack. She'll never notice...
Face it, it's gonna cost ya. When I asked my wife to pit crew for my Yukon River races, she found what quickly became her favorite jewelry store in Dawson City. I was forced to reluctantly agree to a gold nugget to add to a necklace for each 500 miles of pit crew service provided. How much do you think returns of 4,000 miles of Yukon paddling have cost me?
Uh oh it's a solo canoe also. Looks bad for you. Your better do some major sucking up.
Congratulations!
Let's hope she likes it, but not too much. Then you might have to buy a second one.

As the wife in my particular household, I am uniquely qualified to advise you. I would suggest you break the news to her with a second Blacklite Northstar solo canoe. Its the only fair and equitable method.
You‘re welcome!
You‘re welcome!
Is it comfy enough to sleep in?
I’ve posted this before but it appears appropriate but maybe too late.
I solved similar problem by buying another boat for my wife.

Spouse, schmouse.
What's important is how much does it weigh? That's been a big concern of yours.

We are all in deep. Buy good canoes used. Improve them and you can make money. I have been flipping them for 45 years.
Yes, I should never have entered that store. I picked it up with my good arm and all doubt was erased.

In my experience, bank balances ebb & flow but the canoe might last forever. Enjoy.
Oh, so true, so true...
A few months ago there were two guys loading up their SOT in the parking lot. The launch is probably 40 yards. I shouldered my Yellowstone and one says, "you need a cart like this!"
My first three thoughts were:
"Nah, I'll be fine, this thing is 28 lb" - dismissed as too arrogant, and perhaps inviting a break-in.
"No, I often carry heavier canoes this fair" - dismissed is not only arrogant but insulting their fitness.
"I have a cart like that, I only use it for really long carries with my heavier canoes". - dismissed us insulting, arrogant, and communicating I'm weirdo with a fleet of canoes.
I settled for, " yeah, those carts are nice, but I think I managed today guys, have a good afternoon"
