When shopping for a canoe it is important to first decide what it is you will be using it for primarily. For example, will it be a fishing boat, or a boat that will just be used for paddling around? Once you have decided what the canoe will be used for, it will be much easier to find a canoe that is suited to your needs.

The Coleman Scanoe can be the perfect choice for any canoe owner because it allows for much more versatility and functionality than many other canoe type boats. It can be used on lakes, ponds, rivers, and even on the ocean.

This boat is able to accommodate many uses because it has a large carrying capacity and a squared off stern, which is not typical for a canoe. Measuring at 14 feet long, over 3 feet wide and having a safe carrying capacity of 800 lbs this boat can handle several people with a bit of gear in one single trip. The squared off stern adds to the versatility of this boat by providing a convenient place to attach a small motor.

This boat can be paddled and maneuvered just as easily as a standard canoe even though it is not necessarily built like one. A motor is not included with the purchase of a scanoe, but it can be an added convenience for use when trolling or for those who prefer a relaxing ride without having to paddle.

Three seats are built in which makes it possible to hold 3 people with a bit of gear at one time. As far as canoe style boats go, the Scanoe is very stable. Because this boat is made of polyethylene, many argue that this boat is not very durable. The polyethylene construction is not only durable, but it is also light weight and can be repaired very easily if needed.

The Coleman Scanoe can be found in many outdoors stores across the country, but with a bit of searching it may be possible to find a lower price in local classified ads or on the internet.
