Hey Nathan,

The canoe is a Coleman "Vantage" which is made form RAM X Polyplastic, its 13ft 6" which is perfect for one man fishing trips and i got it in a package from " Goodtime Sail and Surf" in Brissy for $1205........ three weeks till pick up:D :D :D

Kris,
do you know how much the electric and battery is going to set you back? Just got a canoe myself and an electric would be very cool.

Kris what came with the package mate. Also if you are looking a electrics i got some prices on the motorguide tillers, & for the 46lb it was approx $450.

I had a look at the scanoes, about $1500 but very smick.

Cheers
