I’m thinking about this canoe:

It is about $700. It can hand a small motor up to 5 hp, I think.
I’d rather have a smaller motor anyhow…

as weight and cost is a consideration for these 4 strokes.
Any experience with them? How well do they work with this canoe? Which one do you think is best? Thanks.

It seems like you could trim a couple feet off the back end and have it flat. That would make the boat lighter in weight and shorter - easier to transport to and from a waterway. Is there some advantage to having both ends points on these kinds of boats?
