6. I've thought about one of the mad river canoes.

For when I take both kids. (since there's a middle seat)


There are a couple of drawbacks to the canoe, lack of storage of equipment that's nice and secure in case you take a spill in the rapids. You can stick a dry bag, 4 rods, lunch, and anything else under deck an out of the way until needed.

#2 The fact they're harder to paddle through the water, compared to a single person kayak.

#3 No fisherman likes beating the same water as another fisherman. It's nice being able to wander around and hit different water, for me that's the most fun part of a fishing kayak. They're personal, you can set one up with all the junk you want how you want.

#4 Canoes are large...really large.

but that doesn't mean I would like a canoe, especially if outfitted with a nice electric motor...
