  • I show how to customize a canoe and make it unsinkable even with a big battery and a trolling motor! I also demonstrate the technique of getting back in the canoe if you were to fall out, which I do!

    Good lesson on how to carefully climb back into canoe though👍🏻😜
    You’re a great person Roland. I just missed you when you stopped by our booth at Sportsman’s Show a couple years ago. My coworkers said you visited for about 20 minutes and you were very congenial. Wish I could’ve met ya.

    Awesome deal Mr. Martin. I think a bit lower is what many will say but when you have a second person in there like your camera man they are in the perfect spot. And then will keep the boat from capsizing from the weight transfer if one person goes in. Always enjoy watching your videos.
