If you get a 16', I recommend a symmetrical boat with the bow seat designed so you can reverse the boat and paddle solo from the bow seat, with the boat backwards.
But then you can't do sweet canoe wheelies.
lol!

The wheelie isn't just a joke, it's a proven advanced technique. Not only does it let you perform a "spin move" at high speed, it also prevents the bow from diving in class 2 wavetrains....
Um...okay....It also puts you in the most unstable position possible - and for no good reason. There are better ways to spin the boat and to negotiate a wave train.
Should there have been a joke smiley with that?
