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!
It would be quite humorous to watch you try that on a windy lake. You wouldn't be laughing though.
Been there before!!
I like my mad river. Have had it for 20 years. Have been on trips all over Canada with it. Have done class III in it but I put bags in the front and back
