As a fan of Sea Eagle's inflatable kayaks for years, I'd like to know better why some of us would want one of these new canoes at double the price of Sea Eagle's other kayaks? I love my Paddleski with many accessories including a Torqeedo 1003s 3 HP electric motor, 45' Sail Rig and electric pump. As with some other Sea Eagles, I would imagine the canoes being sleeker and higher pressure paddle faster. Other than that, I can only see disadvantages and a much higher price tag. But please explain any advantages the canoes may have. Yesterday I sailed the Paddleski around the protected Bluff Point in Groton CT out to the open ocean to Ledge Light house in New London CT. The pontoons kept us stable as the huge Long Island Ferries passed us. Simply turn on the motor to a decent speed to take the waves and we barely noticed them. Other kayaks or canoes easily could have tipped. The wind was stable but a bit weak so we motored in some areas. To go out there at low tide, we found it easiest to paddle in some areas before the open ocean. What other boat can do all that and fit in a small car? Last week I took it out motoring & paddling comfortably with 3 adults. I have not yet need to portage the Paddleski, but have carried it full of gear with the motor short distances onto beaches. The canoes as demonstrated can tip easily. Why not buy a Fast Track for half the price if you need better performance paddling? Or do these canoes paddle even better than the Fast Tracks?

Great questions. Most avid canoeist prefer canoes. Thanks for watching!

@@SeaEagleBoats That does seem to be the answer I have typically heard. As a kid in the 70s we had two John boats. By the late 70s, we bought an antique Grumman aluminum canoe from the 1960s or so. While it won't tip like most canoes, it's incredibly heavy. We still have it in the family, and it hasn't been used in decades due to lack of a vehicle to transport it. But really, once I got the Paddleski, zero interest in canoeing again.

looks like a great alternative to the fiberglass type units but at a sorta higher price.. hard to fold up a fiberglass one like this can be..
