and on the 17' barge motor canoe, I've got a rowing rig from Spring Creek. The rowing seat serves as a portage yoke as well. Gives a really fine carry with a bounce on the bumps that I like. The only drawback with this for me is the thought of trying to eject the canoe from around my neck in case of an unwanted tumble.  I think the portage yoke/rowing seat can be purchased with out the rowing rig, but not sure..
