Title: Re: the new Bell canoe -- review? Post by portage dog on Mar 12th, 2014 at 10:01pm
I just got the answer today in the mail. A new Piragis catalog arrived with a full page of Bell boats. (okay, maybe 3/4 page....). Page 8 shows overhead and side profiles for the Northwind 20, 18, 17, 16, the Magic, and the Phoenix.
The specs on the Phoenix are 14'6" LOA, 3" bow rocker, 2.5' stern, 18.5" bow depth, 12.5" center, 16.5" stern, mw is 30", gw is 26", wl is 27", kevlight @ 32lbs, blacklight @ 35lbs and $2250/$2650 respectively. The description says "Ted Bell's sport utility solo canoe. Carries a load and maneuvers easily." See them on Piragis' website at (You need to Login or Register Interesting is the Northstar Canoes label and logo at the bottom of the Bell ad. Anyone have any experience with the Phoenix yet? Looks like a good bit of rocker for so short of a canoe. pd |
