I have not used your style of canoe. I use a 16' Mohawk here for all my fishing and tripping. This is a boat I can maneuver most anywhere I wish in fast or still water, salt or fresh h2o. The use of sail or trolling motor or paddle power is at my option. The sail is used for trolling and speed controlled by not much sail. Having no keel we can broadside to wind and use a sea anchor to limit speed. Then off to the trout streams to use skills of the white water paddler. Getting into an eddy to fish is a hoot. The sky is the limit.
