    "Canadian Canoe Mackinaw delux 3 seat ". They spec it as a flat bottom which I presume is good for stability. Have seen them for £419 but all UK mainland based and the cheapest here is €599. Any good places up North to look out for

    Thanks

    just don't use them in rough water or on the sea. as long as teh waves are low they are very stable.

    Sold mine before I left Canada for Ireland.
