Old Town Guide 16-ft Canoe Review
Wide & Stable. This baby’s a tank!

: I use this canoe fishing with just about anybody that will go with me. That goes from my 4 yr old nephew to my 92 yr old mother. She loves the seats and seat backs for the support and comfort they provide. I am no fly weight at almost 300 lbs, yet I can fish for hours on end without getting a flat butt! Try that on a flat seat. As others have said, it is a bit heavy to load solo, but well worth the extra effort. I would not choose this canoe for serious touring with long portages, but for almost any other use this is one sweet canoe. More stable than any other canoe I have ever been in including Mad River, other Old Towns, Coleman, Grumman, Lincoln and E.H. White. I love mine. If you have a small car or suv, check the width to be sure this canoe will fit your rack. It just fits a Ford Explorer rack.
