Anyone have a canoe recommendation?
#1
I'd like to buy a basic canoe for us and two kids to tool around local lakes in. Maybe a 2nd one once my son is a little older and we can split up. Is there some compelling reason why this isn't an ok choice?

Will probably be pretty slow since it's not very long and has a flat bottom, but shorter is better for storage/moving. Should I even consider one of those indestructable aluminum ones that rental places use?

Is there some reason I should give some guy on craigslist 300-400 bucks when I can get one new for 500? Is there some reason I'll regret not spending twice as much on models that look pretty much the same?

(I mean, it doesn't even have cupholders, WTF)

Tell me if you know anything, including paddles, other accessories I need. Excuse me while I go stare at my 4x6 trailer and figure out how to put one of these on there.
