It's a SOT, but doesn't have scupper holes which seems scary, but I've been told that with its external sponsons (I think the beam is about 28") that thing will never sink. It's about 13 1/5 feet long, very comfortable incorporated seating (no need to buy a separate seat) and glides beautifully. Not sure about the weight but I can move it easily. It only has a small hatch cover in the rear so I have to put a mesh bag inside and then throw stuff in. It does have velcro paddle holders and built-in handles. I bought it from an outfitter who had taken out a group on a houseboat trip and used the Solo for a handicapped member of the group. Best of all, I've now seen them for $400...new! i guess you can check out www.oldtowncanoe.com sandy kramer miami *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
