Default Creek Boats?

Thanks guys. I'm not seriously concidering another boat. After all, I do own a "classic" Grumman. I could always dig out the old kneepads!

However, it would be tempting if there was some perfect, fun, lighter canoe to consider. Not resin/fiber construction. Under 50#. Probably doesn't exist.

But... Wouldn't that Silverbirch 10.5 or 11.3 be a hoot to try? These creek boats fascinate me but are waaay overkill for anything I'd ever paddle. Needed one 40 years ago. Ha! I can only imagine they would be tough to paddle in flat water? Anyone ever try one?

Mike, may JP and I be excused from Riverfest this year so we can go to the solo canoe rendevous?
