ardillacid Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Okay what do you look for in a good canoe? Whats a good length? Material? Price/Value Ratio? Good brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle_eye222001 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have the canoeing merit badge. Have no idea in buying them though. I know how to operate them. ---------------- Listening to: [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/artist/veggietales+(veggie+tunes)/track/the+b-o-y-z+dance"]VeggieTales (Veggie Tunes) - The B-O-Y-Z Dance[/url] via [url="http://www.foxytunes.com/signatunes/"]FoxyTunes[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dauntingknight Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) I'm good at it but can't go that often. I also have the canoeing Merit badge like the wise old Eagle has said I know how to operate them but don't know a darn thing about buying them.

Maximilianus Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I don't canoe but I too earned the merit badge in the Scouts. The type of canoe you get would depend on the factors txdinghysailor mentioned. Your budget will be a facor as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how often will you be getting resupplied? If you're going out for 3 months straight you need a different canoe than if you get more food every 2-3 weeks.

ardillacid Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Bigger and more placid. Will be resupplying frequently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
