Paul,
I've had a 14 ft. Radisson canoe for about 15 years. I've had it in the lake bass fishing, in the bays for perch and pike, and many trips to the Adirondaks north of Tupper Lake fishing the ponds for trout and skamania.
It's super stable with a 38 in. beam, weighs only 41 pounds, can carry 800 pounds, and has a side mount for a small gas or electric motor.
Currently, my son has it and takes his sons to the Daks to keep up the tradition.
Take a ride to Oak Orchard Canoe and Kayak, in Irondequoit or Waterport. You can get a better idea of what's available. And the staff is very knowledgeable.
Jim
