RStouff,
May I suggest you look at this web site:
[url=http://www.castlecraft.com:546c9]www.castlecraft.com[/url:546c9]
They have several brands of canoes plus trailer and outriggers.
They ship directly to you from manufacture. I think their prices are very reasonable.

I like Canoes too.. And for not alot of money Old Town sells their Pack Canoe. I think it's like $699.00 12fter and has a 400 Lb. Capacity...Which it looks as thoe you'll need!!!...LOL
Their 16 ft. Discovery cut the water pretty nice with 2 Flyfishers as well as us both standing and casting...so I doubt the motor...well day trips UP the river would have been sweet with a motor...Happy hunting..Hope you can narrow it down to less than half a dozen!!!

Here's a picture of my float - it's an old town Katahdin. 12' and very beamy. I've actually napped in it. Alec

Warren, thanks for the link, I wonder what shipping would cost? I've seen other companies that will ship a 'noo and it's about $200 bucks, quite a bit.
Bill, you're right, but I gotta hit Lafayette and Baton Rouge soon to find out exactly what's available to me here. That should narrow it significantly.
Alex, that is PERFECT! I like it a bunch. Heck, just the setting is picture-perfect. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

I also use an Oldtown Pack canoe.Its perfect to slide in the back of my Toyota P/U and fish small mill ponds here for bass and pickerel.The only addition I added was a Sitbacker padded canoe seat from LLBean.This thing is the bomb for comfort.Well worth the money.

RStouff,
I purchased a Michi-Craft alum. 13' canoe from Castlecraft about 5 years ago and they shipped it to where I work for $99. That was one nice canoe. It had a 42" beam and was very stable and weighed 54 pounds. I think you can contact them to find out what shipping would be on a particular model.

I did look there, but most items are marked "currently unavailable" so there may be some truth to the rumor.

I see a lot of great ideas here, but no one has mentioned my favorite yet, so I'll chime in - Check out Bell Canoes, based out of Minnesota - they build fantastic boats and this one is no exception.

I've used an Old Town Discovery 158 for probably 20 years. Great fishing canoe. I don't go for all the accessories though. I like to keep it simple. An Adirondack pack pack basket behind the seat makes a great rod holder. I got a spring-loaded anchor reel and made a fixture for it that allows me to clamp it to the seat right next to me.

Warren, you're a bad influence on me... http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif
