Re: [VFB] canoe

[Jimmy D. Moore]

Murph, I'm with you! I've had my 17' flat bottom Grumann for nearly 20 years. Been in all kinds of water, up to class IV, but have never had it capsize yet! However, before I got my Grumann, I had one of the Old Towne round bottom, canvas over wooden struts and was constantly getting thrown out.

My 2 cents worth.

Flat-bottomed canoes feel more stable, but will capsize more easily than a round model.

Henk;
I will never have any other than my 17' Grumman flat bottom. I can stand up in it, cast and rarely hit bottom. Enjoy your round bottom but I prefer mine for every thing from class 4s to flat water.
