Yep, I can see that. It was the displacement that I was wondering about. Looked like a lot of surface contact. Reminds me of an old Sportspal that I have and use when I'm teaching dogs how to ride in the canoe for the first couple of times. Unflippable, but also feels like I'm paddling around in a tugboat. However, as you say, they are stable. You can fish from such a canoe without having to worry about getting tipped. I've met kids in old Sportspals, fishing for bass up in creeks.. They are pretty safe canoes as long as you stay on fairly quiet water. My current canoe isn't like that. You can feel the spirit in it as soon as you slip in and start to paddle. It's actually stable... quite a wide beam and a lot of tumblehome, but it reacts to everything that you do -- so you feel any little wobble if someone does something weird. Not a good canoe for training dogs! lol...
