Thanks for the new sportspal video, like all the stuff you share on this canoe . I just used mine this past friday.. I have a trailer for my canoe but I had a hard time loading the canoe on it. Any tips for 70 year old dude to load one by himself?
I have seen some rollers some people use on a Facebook group. I haven't tried it other than my aluminum boat going on it's trailer. Maybe something in that direction
Look at the REESE easyloader for canoes .. Pretty slick for a one man show and they are not expensive either fits on your trailer hitch cranks up to your roof height grab the bow and walk up to the front to tie it down and lower the square tubing upright and put some foam supports and tie it down. There are vids on youtube.
Hey back thanks. There aren't many dealers outside of the Northeast U.S. .but if you contact a man named Bill at Kenco out of New York state he is pretty good at finding a way to get them around. Hope it works
@@GettenanyOutdoorsSportspal thanks Dave ... I'm a trapper so I have traps and gear in the front ... stabilizes it with my fat butt in the back ! But I paddle - don't use a motor
@@GettenanyOutdoorsSportspal Well ide be willing to drive as far north to the border to get one .... a few years back i drove from San Antonio Texas to Vancouver for week round trip .
@@user-bi4hw2wi2k thee are Radisson dealers in the U.S. same canoe. Kenco Outfitters in New York ships all over, as does White potato lake outfitters in Wisconsin.
Not rated for it and the coast guard would frown on it, buuuttt my fishing buddy uses a 4hp all the time with no problem. I tried my 8 hp for research purposes only and it caused the transom to buckle half way up. Just something to watch for.
LMAO, just what I needed after a day at work.

@@GettenanyOutdoorsSportspal thanks
how low is the rear sitting to the water with you and the motor on the back but no ballast weight up front ? thanks
It's actually not that bad with this 30 lb motor. The front does come up a bit at fullspeed, but didn't push the stern down too much at all

My dad run a trap line for the last 35 years, and I got to be the apprentice many times, lots of work and lots of lessons.
i wish they sold Sportspal down south they are cool boats .
Depending on how far south there are possibilities

How well would it survive a 3.5hp?
