I'm seriously considering the Big Tuna next year. i want something I can bring my daughter in and occasionally Mrs. Deacon if she behaves.

Just don't know how much effort it will take to paddle that big sum bitch by myself when going solo.

To me that would be the appeal of something like the NuCanoe. Anyone here have any experience with it?

You'll be pleasantly surprised. It may take a bit of effort to get going, but once started, the Tuna is quick. I'm always nervous about two in a yak, especially with people that have little experience. Alx and I used my Magic to cross Bayou Cocodrie, with bows and stands, and it was perpetually in danger of flipping.

To the OP, get to Pack & Paddle tomorrow night for Pint night. Big charity event with beers and fries, 10% discounts on just about everything. Also note, if you belong to either of the kayak clubs, they give you a 10% DISCOUNT ON KAYAKS AND SUPPLIES.
