[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 159098, member: 432"] I have two. I have a twelve foot fiberglass canoe I purchased from Sears & Roebuck back in the 80's. It has seen quite a bit of water. It is pretty unstable compared to other canoes I have been in. I had to take out the seats because you couldn't sit in them without rolling over. You have to sit or kneel on the floor. I have gotten pretty good dealing with the unstable nature of the boat. I have caught fifty pound cats out of it. My second boat is a 14 foot Duracraft with an Evinrude 9.9 mounted on it. I purchased it a couple of years ago due to family and friends urging me to get a bigger boat to handle the large catfish. My brother found it and called me to go look at it. He told me that if I did not buy it he was going to buy it. It is an ideal boat for my needs and in excellent shape. I could not ask for a better running motor. The trailer was another story. The guy I purchased it from had no use for the trailer since he lived on the water so he threw it over his fence into the woods. That took a lot of work to get back in shape. [/QUOTE]
