Grumman 12' 9" Solo Canoe

Description

The canoe features 2 ribs and a center depth of 13 inches, providing added strength and durability. The standard keel ensures straight tracking and improved stability in different water conditions.

This canoe has a maximum weight capacity of 545lbs, which means you can bring along your gear for longer trips without worrying about exceeding the weight limit. Additionally, it has a maximum weight capacity of 585lbs for added flexibility.

One of the frequently asked questions is whether there is free shipping to a truck depot. The answer is yes, there is. If you want to know the nearest depot to your location, please provide your zip code, and the closest depot will be provided to you.

Another common question is about the type of keel the canoe has. It has an extruded aluminum "T" angle keel that runs the full length of the canoe, measuring about 3/4".

There is also a question regarding the gauge of the canoe. The answer is that it has a gauge of .050. However, it is important to note that the canoe is considered unsafe without additional stabilizers, which can cost over $300. Some users find it suitable as a boat cover for their other boats.
