Looks like a great Manistee River trip type boat! I'd do that! Thanks for a look at this, Ben.

I like this hybrid concept. Thanks for another outstanding review

I cut out the small trays on both sides and now use them as handles, much each to pick up and load and unload and to portage with the bottom of the seat on top of my head

I used to fish out of a 33lb Old Town Pack Angler canoe. I had two Scotty rod holders, a Scotty anchor pully, and a YakAttack fishing flag/light. Nearly this same boat, only 21lbs Lighter at 33lbs and still 3" longer. Same width and depth. I just watched one sell on craigslist 2days ago for $700. I traded mine for an Old Town Penobscot 16RX. No regrets.

You lucky bastard!! This one is on my wishlist for sure!

This is my favorite solo boat. Everything about it is as close to perfect as realistically possible. Cargo space is great as compared to any kayak.

Thank you. You covered a couple of the features that I didn't know how to use.

Thanks for the video! I just ordered one and this is good stuff to know before I get it. Can’t wait to try it out!

Very cool underwater footage.

i find that a kneeling pad in the centre is much better than sitting for paddling through a rapi dor to haul ass across a lake. the seat is probably great for resting. your J-stroke can only be accomplished kneeling.

I really like that kynoe . Good video

Its a great boat, if they just designed the seat a bit better it would be super solid.

Awesome!!!! I need something light and open like that; Thank you Ben!

I'm dying for one of those thanks for the video 👍

I Like It ! That would fit perfectly on any car's roof. Or back of the pickup.

Nice boat, should give the NEXT a good run for its money, but I’m not a big fan the color offerings. Thanks for posting!

Nice "kaynoe" I'm still wondering if we can stand up in it...

Hey Ben ,, does the seat adjust to a higher position, I hate sitting on the bottom of my kayak. I like the higher position. Very nice boat 👍

Really nice craft Ben. Great video!

The Native Ultimate can be bought for $599 at Gander Outdoors. It's a better boat and only weighs 48lbs!! These were well North of $1000!!

Why they don't use the seat in the next in all solo canoes, is beyond me

Brilliant idea.

Hi I was wondering can this be in saltwater like the bay or canal ? Was a great video lots of information

Nice! Cool idea but how stable is it? What kind of paddle are you suppose to use? Is the width a problem when trying to paddle?

Been shopping around for a canoe. A solo is my choice. Interesting setup. Is there a Canadian distributor for this brand?

I just picked mine up today and am anxious to get out on the water with it. I am looking for mounts for that front rail but I can not find anything because I do not know what that type of rail is called. Any suggestions on where to find accessories or mounts for that rack?

Can a yeti roadie fit in the back either vertical or horizontal?

This or a kayak like a bonafide rs117 or a lure 10???

How did it paddle and track? What length paddle did you use?

I want one. Bad

cool!

I think that fish looked rubberish

I paid 600$

Too short! For a canoe or kayak! Draft is too deep for a grown man. Yea, you float, but unless we're white water, it's better to be buoyant! Should be more like 14 to 15ft +.... no reason to have a snappy turning canoe for fishing! Stability ,control, speed, capacity.

Nice thanks for review

Only problem is the weight limit. I fit just fine, but if I wanted to use this to access tough areas of public land for deer hunting, I'd be screwed if I had to bring a deer out.

It is pretty badass for the price. Very lightweight and versatile, especially when you're on a budget❤

This is the boat that I wanted last year but I couldn't find it anywhere. I settled on the Sportsman 106 instead. I really like the Sportsman but I may eventually get this boat too. It looks perfect for river camping!

It's a canoe🤣 This canoe is a beast! I love every inch of it💪🏻🥰☝🏻 Is it a canoe a kayak or a hybrid, or a boat? I understand people get all worked up! But it's a bad ass canoe😏

Call it a kayak if it makes you feel good but we all know what it is! Good job!

Put a 55 Lb thrust trolling motor and a 54 AH Lithium battery on that thing and you would be in business.... thanks for the review.

Fishing kayak or this one? I'm planning on exploring waterways and fishing but don't know what to pick... Is a good fishing kayak a whole lot better for fishing?

I like it but the only problem is I hand line crab off my sit on top kayak and im constantly dumping water on my catch and with the scuppers it just runs out

Sweet boat 🇨🇦👍

What about your anchor?

Very cool.

Its the same hull as disco 119 and only 6lbs heavier. Why is it rated for 354lbs and they say the disco 119 is 500 ? Makes no sense to me

i just bought a used Guide Solo 119 . in great condition . $250.00 . same dimensions but the seat sits higher . also i believe its a tad lighter than the one here . mine has 2 wood cross braces forward of the seat . it does not have the rear cross brace and there are no rod holders anywhere . . . yet . im going to change to the seat you have , that will lower me into the craft another 3-3.5 inches and give me a padded seat for my old self . i may even add a rear cross brace and replace one of the wooden front ones with the accessory track . also mine doesn't have the foot braces either . something else i will have to address .

Great review i love mine

Thank you for the review . How much do you weigh ?

Can you portage with that boat?!

I have an Old Town 119 canoe I purchased about six years ago now before the new model why did the weight capacity get cut in half is it the funny foot pegs new seat or is the canoe itself not capable of the weight limit of the past and why thank you
