It meets all of my needs for a solo canoe: I can load it on my car alone, it holds enough camping gear for a several days, good stability, tracks well, adequate speed, can use it all over the Mid-West, and it was easily affordable when compared to Kevlar canoes that cost five times more.Thank you for this great review on Old Town 119 canoe.I’m a bigger guy too, six foot one inches tall, and I have not had any issues with this canoe in regards to being comfortable.

Old Town Discovery 119, new from REI @ $700 + tax; LL Bean Royal River, T-formex, but customized with a web seat and no foot brace - used @ $1000; A custom kevlar pack canoe (12’4", 25ish lbs, 28"width) with a web seat placed really high, like almost flush with the gunwales - used @750; Love to get any thoughts you all might have.
