Coleman Scanoe: The Ultimate Canoe for Versatility
There are many different sizes and styles available for purchase, and it can be a bit overwhelming at first if you do not kn ow what you will be using it for. For example, deciding what your canoe will be used for, whether for fishing or just paddling around will help to narrow down the choices available to you.
The Coleman Scanoe is the perfect choice for any canoe owner, new or seasoned because it gives the owner the versatility needed to use in various situations.
This boat is able to accommodate many uses because it has a large carrying capacity and a squared off stern, which is not typical for a canoe. Measuring at 14 feet long, over 3 feet wide and having a safe carrying capacity of 800 lbs this boat can handle several people with a bit of gear in one single trip. The squared off stern adds to the versatility of this boat by providing a convenient place to attach a small motor.
A small motor can be an added convenience, although not included with the purchase of your scanoe. A motor is not necessary because this boat can be easily maneuvered and paddled just like a regular canoe. However, if you are planning to do a bit of trolling, or would rather not paddle at all, the addition of a motor can be a great choice.
Three seats are built in which makes it possible to hold 3 people with a bit of gear at one time. As far as canoe style boats go, the Scanoe is very stable. Because this boat is made of polyethylene, many argue that this boat is not very durable. The polyethylene construction is not only durable, but it is also light weight and can be repaired very easily if needed.
With a bit of searching, the Coleman Scanoe can be found at many outdoor stores across the country, online or even in local classified ads.
