NuCanoe possibilites

Post by Talltails »

Brad from Sunjammers gave me this NuCanoe to demo. It paddles and tracks surprisingly well. I put a trolling motor on it, and it now presents some interesting possibilties. It is 42 inches wide and 12 feet long, so is plenty stable enough to stand in and fish. It will run in a few inches of water, and weighing less than 90 lbs, it won't break your back moving it around. I'll keep ya'll posted with some reports.

how does the Battery hold up when dunked with salt water. or a wake comes over the stern? Looks like it needs some dry storage and a breaker for the TM bat.

What kind of material is it made from? It looks like plastic, like a "Bass Hunter".

You gotta register that thing if you are going to use the trolling motor.

Thats a fact jack. You'll have to get numbers and have a registration. Good luck with that since we don't register kayaks.

Not a bad looking boat. I could think of some uses for the rowing set up. Especially if they made it in a 16-18 footer.
