... there's A LOT more hulls to chose from when you're under 200 lbs! I agree with your approach - do not recommend a small solo canoe like a Solito, Zoom or Prelude if you want him to stick with it! Let him get some experience, build some skills and make his own choices if he wants to get ...

Prelude, L'edge, Detonator, option, Octane 85, spark, Phantom, solito. Any shorter boat thats not going to trip up a 160lbs semi begginer. L'edge may be too heavy.

I'd recommend an Ocoee if you're okay with edges. Nova Craft is the current manufacturer and is doing a better job (layup and gunnels) than Bell did. Unless you have really good balance in a canoe, I wouldn't suggest a Zoom for someone your size and height. The polyethylene canoes are what's hot. Mo...

Any suggestions for a solo boat for a 210 pound 6'4" paddler? Looking mostly for a downriver runner, with some surfing etc...

... TonyB's recommendations on a neutral boat. I tend to think of it as paddling into a wave with a flat boat. On boats like the Ocoee, Zoom, and Solito that's incredibly important. Drop one of their sharp chines and you're off the wave in a hurry. But this rule applies to all boats. There are ...

... adjust. I feel this in the Prelude more than any other canoe I've paddled (Ovation, Outrage, L'edge, Phantom, Ocoee, Nitro, Detonator, Zoom, Solito, Maxim). That might just be a personal preference for the Prelude's kind of hull though--I'm sure others would disagree with me and say get have ...

... indicator, and that the West Coast isn't a hotbed. But it's not like everyone is still paddling H2Pros, we've got lots of Ocoees, Viper 11s, Zoom, Solito,... And you know what it's like trying to see or demo a new design from out here. Plus, with Vancouver mortgage/housing, nobody can afford an ...

... in that canoe). It certainly wasn't the first sub-10er, but it definitely wrote a new page in canoe design, helping pave the way to boats like the Solito, L'edge, Option, Ion, and Octane. It was also a canoe designed unapologetically for the experienced paddler and not trying to be all things to ...

The 10' Ocoee was already done. It was the Evergreen Solito. Not well done, mind you, but the Solito was very Ocoee-esque, just shorter.

Salut! Mon Solito est vendu donc, je suis ton acheteur! Peut-on se parler sous peu???

Hi
Do you have any pictures?

For Sale - Evergreen Solito OC1. 9'10" long, very hard chines. Mike Yee outfitting, Harmony Nylon bags, skid plates, excellent condition. Located in SW Ontario. $900. Pictures are kinda crappy courtesy of my phone - I will take better ...

I'd agree... that an Ocoee/Viper/??? would be the next best logical step before going to a Prelude/Solito/Maxim/Zoom/??? i.m.o. Detonator isn't a bad boat by any means and a lot of people really like and still buy them new... it's just not my cup of tea. I wished you lived ...

I paddle a Prelude and my path to it was from an Ovation (very much like a Nitro) to a Phantom to a Solito, back to a Phantom, then the Prelude. I love the Prelude. But it should be pointed out that while it has great acceleration for a short boat, it is a short boat. It ...
