Comments about PakCanoe 17 Folding Canoe:

I have packed this canoe in my car trunk or checked it as baggage on charter and commercial airlines while padding this boat down the Kazan River in Nunanvut, Hells Bay in the Everglades, between islands in the Dry Tortugas, on the Lake Superior water trail, and in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. It's been dragged loaded over beaver dams and lined up and down rocky streams with only minor scratches (repair kit included for major damage).

  • Gift:
  • No

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about PakCanoe 17 Folding Canoe:

      I bought the 16 ft, thinking it would be great in remote areas. I took it to Trapper's Lake, CO to try it out. It is HEAVY. The website say it takes 30 minutes to set up. I am very handy at setting things up, having set up tents in the dark for the first time. After 2 hours of wrestling this thing around, I gave up. Then came the bigger surprise, it took 3 of us 3 hours to take it apart! Trying to slip and pull the rods out was a night mare! A waste of a great day in Colorado! Additionally, it looked too flimsy for the purpose I had in mind, back country canoeing in the southeast. This has been the biggest mistake I have ever made!

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
