I have 2 kayaks, a fiberglass canoe, an aluminum fishing boat, and one of these Wasatch. The Wasatch is my favorite boat by far. It is roomy and VERY stable and I am a 300lb. guy. I actually use it as a Hybrid Kayak/canoe with a kayak paddle. I bolted a mesh seat to the center seat then took out the front seat and replaced it with an oak thwart to give me leg room. I wish I could post a picture of it. I love it!

Great review. Thank you. It's now summer 2023 and we just bought it on sale at Dicks for $498. Off sale it's $599. Haven't taken it out yet. We bought a 3.5hp, 2 stroke motor for it, but not sure the motor mount that came with it will accommodate that size and weight, so we'll check it out and make our own motor mount. It gets very windy here in southern Idaho,so a trolling motor wouldn't help much in that case. We plan to do some trout and walleye fishing soon. Hope you and your kids are still enjoying yours. Cheers! 🛶

The troll motor I got was the recommended size for the canoe. I think in part to the plastic troll motor mount. Overall, I’m happy with the trolling speed. There are at time, I would have preferred to have a little more power in the forward speed just to get back to shore/docket faster. But I don’t know if the plastic motor mount could handle the extra torque.

There is a L shape hard plastic piece that came with the canoe and you simply bolted it down. I think I mentioned it in the video.
