I don't think I've seen a Savage River in person, that looks beautiful. Thanks for the detailed pictures.

Nice looking boat Glenn, lots of luck with it. Will it be your new "daily driver" and replace your other solos on most trips?

I'll post a full review with lots of photos in about three weeks after I test the canoe for four days in the Pine Barrens and on some lakes and other rivers.

I still have quite a few canoes and kayaks, many being old whitewater models or decrepit, but my plan for my ninth decade is have two very lightweight "daily driver" solo canoes. They are my Swift Carbon Fusion Keewaydin 15, an easy tracking canoe at 28 lbs. (12.7 kg) for lakes and light tripping, and this new Savage River Textreme carbon Illusion, an easy turning canoe at 21+ lbs (9.5+ kg) for twisty streams and playing.

I've had to pay through the schnozzola to get two boats light enough for my age, but that at least keeps me in the game. Confucius say: "No lifty, no paddly."

The big question is what will Glenn new boat be and why

A pelican 15.5 as it is the most sold canoe in the world surely it must be te best

B after his kee 15 he started more talking with dy and bs and they came with a design for the perfec

C a blackfly rodeo canoe beacuse that he can hide in the cubboard from the misses

D wenonah beercooler in carbon, same as above but much lighter

E a copy of his beloved mike gjalt design in the newest construction only weight 15 pounds

F special order by millbrook the last one kaz will build to keep feeling young

G something else
