I will never forget the day...lol. Fly fishing for bass. All my gear on. I have a really light aluminum 16' canoe. Loaded at the beach. Whole bunch of people all on the beach. 50yds off the beach...standing up paddling. WHOA WHOA...yep. Totally dumped the canoe.
So from that day forward, no standing up for me. I have flipped out of canoes getting in and out of them so many times.
I've fallen out of a lot of canoes. I remember being on a lake in Michigan's U.P. In my friends yellow canoe. I set the hook hard on a smallmouth and the next thing I knew I was upside down in the water... so was the canoe and my friend. lol
This canoe is incredibly stable. Big dogs in and out, standing up, etc. is no big deal.
