functionally maybe. But from a sporting standpoint you cannot replace an old fiberglass canoe.
I love canoes.
Done a dozen camping trips with canoes, hunted 40+? days out of one, hauled out ducks, pheasants, deer.
@MTLabrador I will get on my soap box on this one. Toyota Corolla, best canoe vehicle ever made. Super easy to load and unload a canoe off the roof solo.
Downsides, canoes are a pain to store, impossible if you're career path necessitates apartment life. You can't fly with them, you can easily carryon a packraft and skip the TSA disaster bigfin had to deal with on POW.
You certainly can't self shuttle with a canoe. (see below)
Canoes are open meaning all your stuff is exposed to the elements and takes up all the cargo space.
I'm pretty stingy with my gear purchase... see my 4 years of waffling about buying a new rifle, but I'm all in on a Alpacka Raft boat.
