I'm still thinking about that one as we talked about Dave- mines a 17- Garry model, and Prince George is pretty close. It's got me some mad lately- Saturday I got stuck at the wrong end of a mountain lake when heavy outdrafts kicked up from heat. Four km's beating to windward just about had me thinking a big bonfire could be the resto that boat needs. Ever try a temp keel? I'm thinking something velcro'd- no matter how I trim that boat (including extreme bow forward, which is interesting when whitecaps break over the gunnels!!) will just not hold a line to windward. On the bonus side- what a day- hot and the spring salmon in the upper Fraser seem to be having a great year. Saw hundreds within 200 metres of creek too shallow for the canoe, amazing.
