I'm thinking of buying a used tandem/solo canoe for my daughter and granddaughter in Florida that I can paddle with them, and that they can paddle with themselves, and that I can paddle solo.
I'm thinking about a Swift Keewaydin 16, but have never paddled or even seen one in person. Does anyone have experience or opinions on this canoe as a tandem or solo.
I'm also thinking of a Bell Northstar, which I've seen but never paddled. It's a little longer than the Kee 16 at 16-6 and I believe a little narrower.
Also a Starfire, which is shorter than the other two and undoubtedly turnier, but I don't know of a used one. In fact, I don't even know how to search thoroughly for used canoes on Craigslist or wherever.
