Greasy B Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 so whats the best tandem canoe that can be solo? I need something versatile & agree the buffalo was sorta heavy & slow I have been using a Penobscot 16 as a solo for a couple of years, it not as nimble as my old Mohawk solo but works well enough. Many of my trips are overnighters so it's great to have room for coolers, lawn chairs and a BBQ grill.

ness Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I've used a Wenonah Solo Plus for years, primarily as a solo, but also as a tandem a few times. When my babies were little, I'd load one in the front and one in the back. I'm coming clean -- that's my rig for sale on Craigslist with a new lower price. John
ollie Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Whhhhhhhaaaaattttttt !!!! lol ness 1 "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
Guest Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Nice canoe, you took good care of it. What does solo plus really mean?
fishinwrench Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Nice canoe, you took good care of it. What does solo plus really mean? Seriously ? It's like...Solo-----Plus. gramps50 1
ness Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Nice canoe, you took good care of it. What does solo plus really mean? Three seats -- you can paddle it solo from the center seat, PLUS, you can paddle it tandem form the front/back seats. John
Guest Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I'm currently looking for another tandem royalex canoe or NuCanoe, if yall know of anything let me know. Cash or trade. I will trade custom painted lures for a roughed up canoe as long as it doesn't leak. Ness, your canoe is awesome but its outtta my cash range. I would spend $400-$500 cash on a used canoe, but anything over $500 then I'm going to buy new & charge it. How do those wenonahs track?
Gavin Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Sold my vagabond solo several years ago to a guy on this forum. I don't miss it. My late friend Bicycle Bill Brock gave me a 30 year old Mad River Slipper (fiberglass) soon before he passed, and it paddles great. Better bow so less water in the boat when you run a nasty drop. Think I would go with the Wenonah Wilderness if looking for solo Ness. Better fit for you I think. Have not looked at new Tandem canoes but I'm pretty happy with my 15yr old Wenonah Spirit 17. Bought her new and I've beat the crap out of that boat. Still gets it done. Tad faster than a Disco 169 and it handles much better. Handles from the stern best even when solo. Bow is high so wind is a pain when solo if not loaded right, but might pick up a replacement soon. Think I paid about 8-900 for that boat but new is looking like $1800 plus tax.
Gavin Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Ness has a good boat for sale. Take a look. Honest guy, and he takes care of his stuff.
