Another vote for the Penobscot. I bought mine before they made different lengths, so mine is a 16'. In the past 27 years, I've had it on waters from Alberta to Lake Powell. It's a mighty fine hunting rig:

I even use it on hard water, to drag my spread out for ice hunts:

It fishes fine, I've even bottom bounced with it, and caught walleye over 7# in it. As an all around boat, it leaves little to be desired.

I'm not much of a white water paddler, but get where I'm going. It's probably been my single best outdoor investment. Thanks a bunch for the information, FreeMe. I'll be looking into those sources soon.
