Those 18' and 21' square stern freighters used to be fairly common in Alberta when I was still stomping around there. Good craft for moving water, with the right motor. I mostly paddle so had little use for them... but I once teamed with a few other guys in a paddling freighter (pointed at both ends), and let me tell you, 6-8 good paddlers can make one of those beauties really move, and haul a big load to boot!
