Fleet boat for SALE

SOLD......
Quetico is great for the tandem or solo paddler. The modern design of this canoe makes it totally unnecessary to have a keel. This canoe has very little rocker, quite a flat bottom and very little upsweep at the bow and stern. These features make the Quetico 16 a stable canoe that is able to track very well. Comes with wooden seats and standard yoke.
