I found a 14' Crawdad for sale for $300. It comes with oars, swivel seats, and an ancient looking trolling motor.

I see lots of 12' and smaller Crawdads on the internet, and people seem to love them. However, I can't find much at all on the 14' model. Does anyone here own one or know anything about it? I'm curious about how stable it is and what the people-weight capacity is.

Here's a pic of the model I'm talking about (this isn't the actual boat though):

I think that the Coleman crawdad is made of Royalex. If so, it is very durable and hard to beat for banging around rocks etc. Royalex, however would not be my choice for an area where oyster shells or other very sharp cutting bottom surfaces exist. I had an Old Town Pack canoe once, made out of Royalex. Never a problem on rocky rivers etc.
