Canoe Ponderings by Red Rock Wilderness Store

Canoe Crates working well

I received my Souris River Quetico 17 yesterday. It was in PERFECT condition after its 1700 mile truck journey. The crating was incredible - a work of art, almost a shame to take it apart. You can buy with confidence, even if you can't pick your canoe up at the store.

The boat exceeded my expectations. The build quality is superb and a brief paddle on our lake promises wonderful times ahead. She flies on the water, tracks better than OT's best and turns like a sports car. All that and great stability too! I can't wait to get some serious water time in her. I'm spoiled and will never be able to go back to anything else.

I bought a used 2003 model. The advertised scratches were so minor as to be unnoticeable from a few feet away and will surely be joined with others anyway. The store staff was great to deal with on the phone and patiently answered all my questions. They allayed my qualms about buying a used canoe sight unseen.

Thank you Red Rock!
