Hey Vince, They do have some canoes that have a flat end for mounting a trolling motor. Maybe that would keep you from getting so confused.

Dumb questions only exist in the minds of those that already know the answer!!!

Vince, I’m with you mate!!! I’ve never seen the inside of a canoe and wondered the same thing!!!

I’m just glad you’re the one that asked!!!

I've seen the flat ended ones Hoffy...thems I can work out...but to me, bein' a dumb aussie grunt an' all....boats/ships got a sharp end and a blunt end. Anything else is confuserlatin'.

Cheers, Vince

How about kayaks-did you look at them?

Are all Aussies easily confused? HAHAHA just messin!!

Whoa.

kiw perspective: Have you considered a sit on kayak such as the Johnson outdoors watercraft range an american firm who make stuff here under licence. I use one in NZ for coastal fishing and on the local lakes for hunting and fishing, real good for sneakin up on bambi - you don't look like a human until its too late. I have A 4.2 Meter "prowler" which is 25kg empty, it travels well and is very stable, I can dive off it for Paua (abalone) etc. I can put another person (or shot animal) in the rear and still paddle without problems, drop me a line for more info

I started out with a home built box was 8" long 18" wide 12"high made out of 1 sheet of 12mm ply. it worked ok on the lake we shot a few birds out of it the flat bum made it very stable. we now have good kayaks they go heaps faster and work great. I have one thats made for 2 small people I mounted the front seat back just a little when im on my own it is slightly nose heavy but with my dog or some ducks/geese or 1 of my children in the back it sits level and goes like the clappers. I shot 3 canada geese out of it this season. they were on the shore I aim just off the mob and paddle slowly in towards them. they usually dont take off untill you are withih 40yrds. I get in close give 2 strong paddles them put paddle down and pick up shotty located between my legs poking out the front. I had my 8yr old son with me on the lake and had 4 mallards with 4 shots as they were flying over us there was 3 dead in the air at the same time. not bad from a pump man even if I am blowing my own trumpet a bit. try a paddle/ double ended about 7" long if it works it is easy to put it down and grab ya gun. hope that gives you an idea or two.
