Hi everyone, enjoyed your article Joe.
Nice to see so much interest in canoes.
Just a thought on the Wenonah Kingfisher.
I have one and really like it. About the same as the Fisherman, but 16' in length and about 60 lbs. My wife and I can spend the whole day in it and it will hold a ton of camping gear.
I'm sure its not the best solo boat, but it does very well if I distribute the load properly. I load it on top of our Honda Element and drive into pure bliss!
I can recommend this one.
