Somehow my Bobs Special (ordered in September) didn't get in the production schedule. I'm now looking for another canoe for solo use with my pooch. I found a Northwind Solo that seems to fit the bill capacity wise. If I act fast, I can have built in IXP and the seat moved back a tad since it's not yet in production. Anyone paddled the NW Solo? I'm wondering if the rear cargo area is roomy enough to move the seat back and still fit two canoe packs.
