>>600850>*notice all the canoes posted have stabilizers on them...theres a reason for this...they tip.When I was a Boy Scout back in the day, we did a yearly canoe trip down the Rifle River here in Michigan and nobody ever flipped over.
Now we were purposely sunk plenty of times by the older guys in the Leadership Patrol, who would "war canoe!" upstream and hide behind a bend, then rush down out of the bushes and sink newbies too slow to escape but nobody ever flipped over on their own.
The outriggers one sees on some canoes are neat-o after-market mods but not necessary.
