We finally sold our 17' Mad River Explorer canoe. Too big, too heavy, and too much space in the garage for us. My spouse wants a kayak, but I'm thinking about an alternative for me...Been looking at Hornbeck boats for a long time. At 10' to 12' and weighing 12 to 15 lbs, a boat that would be perfect for ADK ponds and lakes. Carry it in to Flowed Lands, etc, and better to fish out of than a kayak. Good to access some trails and moutains on the other side of lakes(Henderson, Duck Hole). I picked up their Black Jack in the ADK warehouse the other day. 12 lbs. Could lift it like a small bag of groceries.
I know there are a few here who have a Peter Hornbeck boat. Care to comment on how you use them? How do they turn on slow moving rivers?
Paddle with dog or gear? How manuverable are they?
Thanks,
