I’m still admiring the Bronco.
Yeah, me too.

I have to admit the first thing I saw when I looked at the picture was the color of the canoe, very nice. The second thing I saw was the front tie down which I immediately thought was pretty clever. Great looking set up.

Weighs about 60 lbs. it wasn’t cheap but I watched a video of a guy beating one with a hammer and couldn’t dent it.

Ya not sure wife wants me behind her with a rifle nor do I want her behind me steering…so we’ll stick with paddles and her up front.

I do love my Bronco. Great on fuel and was a beast all winter on bad roads.

Perfect. I can picture you wearing your frontier gear carrying your flintlock paddling your canoe full of Beaver pelts. :D

Now, which way to the trading post?

Paddle north, if you see a polar bear you’ve gone too far.

Great looking canoe and Bronco. I like the finishing touch also. Very cool.

I used to have a Wenonah 18 Sundowner, it was fiberglass and 70 pounds. I had to use a Yakima Showboat 66 loader to get it up there from the back of my Land Cruiser. That is a very neat setup, it is for sale now if you want me to ship😬

That’s a cool rig for loading. Luckily I can toss this up pretty good myself, it’s quite easy to load.
