Red Rock Store issues the following warning:
Be on the lookout, folks! Desperate sales people of Brand X kevlar canoes (all made with vinylester resin – don’t forget that fact) are offering their new hull as being the same canoe as a Souris River Quetico 17.
One of my biggest Boundary Waters outfitters, after extensive paddling in real conditions has declared Brand X’s “supposedly-the-same-as-a-Quetico 17-canoe” a “dog” in the water compared to a Souris River Quetico 17.
It’s a typical Brand X in poorly fitting sheep’s clothing – narrow front end, no room for your feet, sluggish with a load, doesn’t handle rough water as well, etc. And, now, we’re hearing the SAME CRAP about epoxy degredation by the usual Brand X sales suspects.
