This boat seems to be designed after Krugers sea wind except it is a little longer (finer entry?) a tad lighter (a little less strength?)  and less expensive.

I suspect they went in that direction becasue the market for a canoe built for the conditions Kruger paddled in would be extremely small.

I bet only a handful of paddlers would push this current offering to it's limits.

I remember reading about his Sea Wind, it was built for conditions that only the truly skilled and risk taking would ever consider paddling in :'(

I wonder if it's "crushproof" ;D  Bad enough you have the gator situation out of control, now you have too worry about those damn Pythons gobbling you up :o  At least with that partially covered deck they can't drop out of low hanging limbs and get to you as easy ;)
You might want to replace your little Q knife with a big old machete, just in case one of those big suckers decides chubby/nerdy looks good on the menu ::)
