I have an Old Town Guide 147 Canoe. I have put countless river miles on this thing and caught many a fish from it. It is plastic which I don't like, and I plan to eventually get a high quality wooden canoe built like that company in Maine who does it, though they have a 2 year waitlist. I have a small bass-tracker style boat but more often I prefer the slipping stealth offered by a canoe and the thrill of fighting bass from it, especially if I happen to hook one un-anchored.
Recently I went on a trip to Guntersville Lake in Alabama and fished morning and evening for 5 days in the canoe. I have a flag that I fly on the boat when crossing the channels for visibility (southern flag that makes tards rage), and I had a couple days where the wind was strong enough that on crossing the channel going back to camp I only had to fly the flag and I got decent speed like a sailboat. It was a ton of fun. This has made me start to consider actually installing a mast on my canoe and learning to sail when the wind is favorable.
I would probably want outboard stabilizers if I did this, right? There's a few videos online of people with this setup. For a while I played with the idea of having the option of a 5hp outboard motor on the stern (it is not square-stern so it would be side-mounted) but I think if I make any modification it will be a mast for coolness. Of course I could do both and have either option I want.
