Heading tomorrow to look at a S/H fibreglass canoe, 3 seater (removable) 14 footer.
Don't know anything about them, have had a couple of kayaks in the past, anything I should look for apart from condition that makes the typical S/h canoe more suitable for 2 adults and 2 kids.
Its planed to do nothing more seriouse than be a family muck around canoe.
I don't know a real lot about them - but if possible have a sit in it in the water - They can vary a lot in terms of stability - which will be important with the family on board
We had two 14 foot canoes at the parent's place up at tinaroo - one was faster than the other (i.e easier to paddle) but a lot less stable - i liked the slower one for the fact that it was a lot more forgiving - especially when you've got someone on board who doesn't have the best balance........
If you had to compare 2 side by side - you'd be able to tell which one would be more stable than the other no problem from hull shape - but just looking at one - i'm not sure how you'd guage how stable it is without testing it - though the hull shapes at the extreme ends of the spectrum should be obvious.
Well bought us a canoe, it quite square below the waterline, dead flat floor with inverted strakes, has an outboard bracket proper plastic chair seats, heavy built, floatation, looks rough, no gelcoat just paint but no matter ...think i got a little lucky for the first one looked at.
I saw what you mean Moffy he also had a 16 footer that was rounded, it did look fast and a bit unstable in comparison.
