After a year of use and field testing the nucanoe I will put my stamp of approval on it.
Pros: quiet (as compared to aluminum canoe), paddles easy and stays on track, can access spots with as little as 5 inches of water, holds up to 500 pounds, seat moves forward and back which allows for better weight distribution, optional cart makes loading and unloading easy, low profile, lots of mods and attachments. It is very stable (important when you must enter/exit in waist deep water). I love the large open design that really allows a lot of room for gear and stuff, I never felt crowded in mine. Has a place for trolling motor and battery which will be nice now that fishing season is approaching.
Cons: a little on the expensive side, a little heavy for a kayak, second cart is better if you must portage for a long ways
Overall I am extremely pleased with my NuCanoe purchase. It easily handled me, all my gear and a 200# buck with no problems. It is easy to navigate on small streams and easy to hide. I made a video and its on my You Tube channel of a few of the mods I made. I will try to make an update video soon. I really enjoyed hunting out of it and it gave me a stealthy approach and opened up some land that was inaccessible by foot.
Probably not for everyone but I am glad I made this purchase.
