Very tipsy and not safe

Date:August 3, 2011

"I had purchased this canoe when it was on sale and was looking forward to using it on my long weekend canoe trip to the Diable Sector in Mont Tremblant.

I have used many canoes in the past and have no issues until using this one. It was very tipsy and even with the slightest movement the canoe would almost go over sideways?......perhaps it was a defect or bad workmanship in this specific one and after reading all of the positive review I'm so surprised no one else had the same issue?

This canoe wa rated for 800Lbs so weight wasn't a problem but I would not recommend this for people with children as I had initially bought it for the use with them but I was so disappointed I had return the canoe the same day I got back from my trip.

awsome canoe

Date:May 26, 2011

"I have not been in or on a canoe for almost 30 years and have really wanted one for the last 10, We are 4 in total, although we have only been 3 at a time, I found we or I had no problem handling it, paddling was easy, steering was easy, and I never felt like it was going to tip, also as two adults on each end I never felt threatend it would tip, so far so good, a dream come true!"

Best Possible Boat One Could Buy

Date:August 5, 2010

"The Pelican will get you through the weeds, shallow water - 2-3 inches deep is all you will need...finally, get to that waterfall you couldn't see unless you parked near by...or getting to where you know that big fish is hiding...fantastic boat."

great canoe

Date:May 30, 2010

"We bought this canoe on sale a year ago. It's a great canoe for the price. It's sturdy and steady in the water. The centre seat is great for canoeing with the kids. My brother-in-law has been borrowing it on a constant basis (at least twice a week spring, summer, fall) to go fishing, and it's handling the abuse very well."

The reviews are bang on

Date:January 23, 2010

"Yes great canoe. I made a hardwood motor mount for a small trolling motor which works great. This canoe is a bit large for the by yourselfers but got all the space if needed. Wait for the annual on sale..."

Best value

Date:January 20, 2010

"I've had one of these for 2 years now without any problems at all. It still works like the day i bought it. I use it to go fishing, we put three adults with fishing gear in it all the time. It is the most stable canoe i have ever been fishing in. Perfect for the family or for fisherman to go spend the day on the water."

Good Boat for What You Are Buying

Date:January 16, 2010

"As our family is growing up, we could not all fit in our plastic Coleman canoe anymore, so it was time to get another boat. We bought more for pracitcality and price than expecting a finely-crafted vessel. These boats can take a lot of abuse, so I don't worry about the kids scratching the bottom on rocks. Our version has the "cooler" style of middle seat; this is handy for storing things, but it is a little uncomfortable to sit on. Also, the front seat is a bit too far forward which makes the canoe a little unstable on the river. I may move this back about a foot and a half by making a spacer for the wider thwarts at this point. All said though, you can't get yourself into a decent, durable canoe for less money than this one!"

Great for the family

Date:May 6, 2009

"We have two kids and haul a lunch and two small dogs with all of us. And all the junk to go with them. Wait for it to go on sale, that is what we did, well worth the money, sturdy even on windy days. Only thing is we are having trouble finding the motor mount for it as we want to get a small 2-3 hp motor, not sure what that is in pounds? ANyone know? ANyways other then that it is great, light for my 12 yr old son and I to carry makes going to the lake, even better."

Can I keep the canoe outside during wintertime?

Anonymous

Answer:

The best way to store the boat is to sit it on a flatsurface and if outside, cover the boat with a tarpaulin.

You may also contact Pelican's customer service at: 1-888-669-6960 and a representative will be happy to assist you.

How strong a rope should I use to mount the canoe on car top?

Question:

The canoe is 80lb. Some people say I can use 3/16" rope with working load of 45lb (Polypropylene Twisted Rope
Product #61-8520-8). Is this strong enough? If no, what kind of rope should I use.

Thanks,

Answer:

You need to mount boards to the inside and outside of one of the ends...and a minn kota clamps on very easily...the pain is the batteries...heavy buggers.
