Thank you, excellent rundown of features to look for in a canoe.

[@timothyberry9084]

I already know all this stuff but man ot was a good video!

[@jonfisher9214]

Some beautiful canoes in this video, but here in the UK canoes are rare and expensive. these would probably go over £3000. I have a Perception kayak for now and can't justify the expense to change to a canoe.

[@lbirk14]

thinking of a 17 foot old town canoe for a long canoe trip on the yellowstone river from livingston to glendive across montana what would you recommend

[@Brian-yx5vo]

Question: for river camping, and to minimize swamping, would say an old town sportsman 120 fishing kayak be better versus the discovery 119 hybrid or a traditional canoe I’m new, so I’m just trying to research as much as I can before I buy. Thanks

[@CampfireKodiak]

A fishing kayak is designed for flat water only. I've seen videos of people using the Discovery 119 on rivers and doing ok. It doesn't have much room for camping gear though. There is a reason people use 15-16 ft tandem canoes for solo camping trips. They need to cargo space for flotation bags and their gear.
