On expeditions it has pulled through challenging conditions where a fiberglas one would break in half, an aluminum one would rumble and scrape through rocks that would make you cringe. It really isn't like what you have reported: told by a person that may have wanted to sell you what he had for sale by putting down another. I still own my ram-x coleman canoe bought in the 80′s.

The are fairly light on portages, but are prone to random bends and stupid minor repairs. They really are the old faithful.
