For the past year, I've been suffering from brain lock trying to decide on a personal water craft. I've gone all over the options from toons to small bass boats....been following the periodic yak discussions that periodically erupt on this list.

Living in KS. I mostly want to target small lakes but keep my options open for Missouri streams (only class II water). Right now, I'm leaning to a light weight solo canoe. I've fished for more that 40 years from a canoe so I find them very comfortable. Cabelas have a Old Town Pack in stock but they aren't eager to let me try it out before purchase--of course I can always bring it back later if I don't like it but then I'd have to deal with all of the accessories as well. The solo-canoe folks on the list seem to lean towards more performance based canoes from smaller specialty companies. I'm thinking pretty hard about the light weight Pack. Finally, the question. Any concerns from the dedicated solo folks regarding the Pack canoe?
