Interesting. My paddling career started when I was a student at UF. My first boat was a yellow FG canoe of uncertain manufacture. It was called "Gator Grabber" because that's what it was used for ( Zoology Major). We'd go out at night, grab, measure, and release them. 5 ft. was about as big as we were willing to grab.
