I have had mine for 3 years. I have floated in a lot of canoes and love the stability of this boat. The dry storage is very nice. You can seat a smaller person on the center seat if needed. The boat has a nice capacity rating for it size. It is a little heavy to load by yourself, but can be done with a little grunting. I haven't had to portage mine where we usually float. Would probably be pretty heavy for one person.

We just got off the river with our used rogue river canoe--it's great. Perfect for our family. Very wide and stable. My brother-in-law called and said his neighbors were selling their canoe, it was a great deal and came with a trailer. HE hasn't done us wrong in the past so we bought it. My wife and I were both skeptical when we saw it, this canoe is not like the rogue river 14 i've seen pictures of, it's wider and has a flat back for mounting a motor. It looks almost like a row boat rather than a canoe. Anyway, we took two of our kids, one is a five year old and headed down the bark river in southeast wisconsin. We couldn't be more pleased. we will not take this canoe on wilderness trips where portaging is required but for river paddling, small rapids (we did go over one small dam today), fishing and duck hunting this canoe will be great! In one of the other reviews I read it was mentioned the backets on one of the seats had worn out. It appears this had happened to the front seat of ours but was repaired using rubber and metal washers that were slightly larger than the original holes. We are also missing the water tight storage, container or lid, I don't know exactly what, the space is there and it's obvious something wasment to screw in the top of the space we don't know what it looks like. I'd like to replace it but like another reviewer cannot find a rogue canoe or Harbor watercraft web site. Does anyone know how to contact them? Lastly, what is that indentation with the strap next to the three beverage holders suppose to do?

I have had my canoe about four years. It is heavy but I do it by myself. I have a pickup with a hitch extender. A long shaft out of the hitch with a T on the end. I recommend leaving the canoe right side up. Turning it over in the bed is very difficult.

I tried a trolling motor but too weak for me. I have a bracket thing that allows you to put the motor on the side. Now I am going to buy one of those little Nissan outboards like you see in Cabelas. I see that the canoe says don't go over 2.5 HP but I would like to go 3.5. Anybody got any warnings or feedback on that? Lastly, all outboards seem to come in 15 inch short shaft/transon length, and 20 inch long shaft. I need to know which to get. I read that the transom is the length from where the motor clamps on to the bottom of the boat. On my 14 it is 20 inches. Do I really need a long shaft for a canoe? Oh also. I find that a double kayak paddle works best for one guy.

I also bought my Rogue14' canoe at Sams. I love it. It's roomy, stable and easy to handle.The only drawback is the weigh. Being that I like to canoe alone(for the peace and quiet)I have a hard time handling the weigh.Does anyone know of a trailer that would be suitable for these canoe that has a wench hookup.

Too heavy? If it keeps the canoe stable and you don't plan to carry it far, this is a great canoe. I want a second one and plan on building a super stable break-down pontoon boat with them (a joke friends).

This boat is heavy! Over 90#! But it lasts, you can stand, you can attach a motor... plastic hull, neat storage compartment and useful third seat. Bought it at Sam's 4 years... cheap! But I don't see them there any more. Next time? We get a lighter boat! NY, USA.
