i agree longer isn't better for whitewater but you can roll a canoe through most I's and II's. If you plan on doing any fishing get the 12.....if not you might should roll with the 10 for ease of trasport/maneuverability.


I won't be doing any WW for now. I'd love to get into it eventually. I might do some fishing and the owner of the used Pungo added rod holders.

The Pungo 120 is 48 lbs I think. Would a boat that size be easy to load/unload from my car by myself?

mine is 60'lbs if im not mistaken and i don't have any problem moving it from my yard to the truck to the launch and back. rod holders are key imo. i have three built into my yak and i added the small igloo marine with two more pvc pipes mounted as rod holders. I generally take three rods and a net and save my forward rod holder for the one i'm using at the time.

That's not a heavy boat so you should be ok.

My perception 14 is over 55 pounds. Not bad getting it on the top of a car, but it sucked getting on the roof of my ford expedition. Had to buy a step ladder. Not fun after a long day of paddling.
