Default Tippy canoe

For those who choose not to put two paddlers and a dog, and fishing or camping gear into one kayak: JP had it right by lowering the center of gravity and this can be done by lowering the seats, two inches will make a huge difference. Lincoln Canoe and Kayak in Maine sells foam flotation pads that mount on the gunnels to give you an extra margin for staying dry. The Kit costs $120.00 and looks pretty sporty once installed. I beleive your canoe came with a center seat, if it did, refrain from putting three paddlers in one boat.

Welcome to the club, and don't go to the dark side.
