Another thing that should be mentioned is that in some some places (I know Washington and BC are two examples) you actually don't need to register your boat even if it has a *motor as long as it's under 16 feet, and flat/square sterns tend to be more stable than symmetrical canoes although not quite as fast (especially when not going forward). Also it isn't really good for hunting or in tight waters but most canoes can be modified for rowing rather than paddling. *There's a limit of

I have a Wenonah Kevlar Rendezvous (solo) with a tractor seat. I’ve always paddled it kneeling, but my knees can’t take it for long any more. Though kneeling gives great back support, I got a canoe seat exactly like the one in this video for sitting with legs in front (tiring for my back), which is fine with a flat bench seat, but what is different about one for a curved tractor seat?

@AlderCreekKayakCanoe 11 ай бұрын

The seat portion matches the outline of the tractor seat, so the whole thing is shaped more like a clam than a book. They attach similarly, and there are both temporary seat back options and more permanent installations. For a more permanent seat back option, check out the CushGear Backsaver (bench or bucket), and for a more temporary option, check out Wenonah's Super Seat (bench or bucket). We are currently out of stock of bucket/tractor seat backs at the moment.

@AlderCreekKayakCanoe 5 жыл бұрын

It is certainly possible! Putting one pup in the bow and one in the stern would balance the boat out nicely, but it could be a little snug for all 3 of you. You might consider a tandem that you can paddle solo - this would allow more space for the dogs and additional gear (cooler, drybag, spare paddle, etc.). Something like Northstar Canoes' Northwind 16 or 17 with a kneeling thwart could be just right. You may also consider a Wenonah Aurora with hung web seats, sitting in the bow and facing the stern.

When i canoe i rent at Loxahatchee river in Jupiter. Their boats are flat bottom and swing so wide. Would a keel spine help with tighter turning?

@andrewromanelli5364 3 жыл бұрын

Hi John. Good question. If anything, a pronounced keel "spine" may help the boat track, but is more about adding structure and rigidity to your hull, increasing its glide efficiency. Features that will increase maneuverability would be shorter waterline, increased rocker at bow/stern, and increased volume in the ends at the waterline. You can create this by heeling a boat over, changing the shape of the hull engaged in the water. Cheers!
