Tranquility Solo Volume and Payload Capacity

HI!

Have been thinking about solo canoe and saw Tranq Solo Souris River rudder version. A couple of ?’s

1. I weight 225 pounds and wonder if this boat has capacity for me plus plenty of gear for a 10 day solo canoe trip. Yes. Unless you are transporting gold bullion, you should be fine. Pay load to a 6" water line is 450 lbs. It's doubtful that you'd be carrying 200 lbs. of gear and food on a solo trip unless you were on some cruel and strange fitness regimen. The only factor that will affect you is bulk. Regular gear and food is relatively not that heavy, but it's bulky. The smaller your gear, the more compact your packs, the easier it will be. I suspect that if you've soloed before you've probably already begun the equipment-size-shrinking process after one or two trips out.

2. Can I pick one up in late June from your store with deposit. ( Can they be shipped (zip code 53105) and how much for shipping) You can pick one up here no problem or we can ship it but that will cost an extra $200. We have to build a special crate, put it on a semi and ship it to a transfer station near you.

3. Can you give me a price on one for that general pickup time:

a.      Kevlar/Epoxy   Regular kevlar, with silver trim. rudder & height adjustable seat is $2320 or $2170 until March 15 during our Sportshow special.
b.      Le Tigre Le Tigre kevlar with black trim (standard on Le Tigre's) seat and rudder pkg is $2420 or $2270 now until 15th.
c.      Standard gunnels Not sure how to answer this question. Gold or black anodized gunwales cost $54 extra. Silver anodized gunwales are standard except on any Le Tigre models which come with either black or gold gunwales.
d.      Seat height adjustment $75 for this option

Thanks!

Our #1 selling layup is Le Tigre Kevlar across all hulls sold.

Hope this info helps you out.

Thanks!
