yakfish Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've been searching for a lightweight option for fishing back lakes up north, and have decided I'd like to pick up a Sportspal square stern canoe. I'm having trouble locating dealers. Anybody less than a couple hours from the Niagara area carry them? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yakfish Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'll have to give them a call. I did look on the sail website and they don't have Sportspal canoes listed so I just assumed they didn't sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were browsing back in January and saw the display models mounted on the wall at the Burlington store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfish Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I called them and they have the one I'm wanting in stock. I have a feeling I'll be the proud new owner of a 14 foot square stern within a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guelph Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 You will like it. Not nice to paddle but very stable and pushes easy with a small electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have a 16' alum. square back canoe (90 lbs) ughh ......I didn't like the elec. motor on the back because it was awkward (PITA) to make sharp turns while holding the fishing rod with one hand . I will be either buying or making a side mount for it ....much more convenient to have the trolling motor at your side .....just a thought when fishing with canoes ......

kgm Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 My brother has a 16' sportspal canoe (not a square back). Nicest canoe I have ever been in. Light , can hold it over your head with a few fingers. Paddles and turns very well. Not the least bit tippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakfish Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Well, I picked up a used one. It isn't the 14 foot square stern I really wanted but for the price the 12 footer will do just fine. Its a little rough, but that just means I won't be worried about beating it up getting into the back lakes up north! And for $250 I couldn't leave it there. Saved myself over $1000 compared to buying a new one. At just 34 pounds I can load/unload with one hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
