Old Town Saranac 146 DLX

The deluxe version of the Saranac line. there's a couple of rodholders in a thwart aft of the Rear seat and an accessory rail forward of the front seat. Looks really good in blue. Canoes are among the easiest to cartop and are very capable in flatwater and current.
Hopefully i can get this rig wet soon.

Lifetime Teton Pro

The 11+ foot version of the Teton Angler. Has some weight to it. Seat is very comfortable, definitely a plus with long hours on the water. It has a keel roller which aids in solo transport.

Suzuki 2.5hp 4 stroke

A nice little cartop pusher. Built in tank with 4 stroke economy to boot. weighs similar to a 2 stroke. Should be fun...

Hobie Float Cat 75

The Hobie is a catamaran style boat with 6foot plastic pontoons.
Designed to be powered by oars or kicking fins. The one i got has a transom for a trolling motor. The whole rig is surprisingly light. Should be easy to cartop and launch.
Looks good for current and wind free waters. Hopefully, travel restrictions are lifted so we can wet this baby.

Old Town Saranac 160

A new canoe just arrived. A 16 footer! Should be an interesting ride
 i'll set it up to fish.

Made a mount for a trolling motor Still deciding if i'll clamp it on or drill mounting holes on the gunwale. Battery box mounts at the bow. Should help keep the front end down.
