[QUOTE="emblem75, post: 523732, member: 37213"] The Radisson doesn't have many cons to be honest...I've only had it since last July and at first I hated it. Wind was a MAJOR issue as it is with most small boats, but this seemed even worse...I've sort of figured out most of the issues by buying a small anchor for wind and balancing lack of weight in the front with a battery for the trolling motor. It does have a slow leak that I've been unable to fully seal...not a huge issue as I bring a sponge and squeeze it out every hour or so. It really is a pretty amazing fishing vessel all things considered...it's light enough to carry anywhere I want to launch, relatively maneuverable with a paddle, can get around easily in super shallow water, has the ability to motorize with a motor bracket, is somewhat easy to stand in (with practice!), and can fit myself and my son on the rare occasions when he joins me. All pretty amazing for a canoe I can carry on my shoulder! [/QUOTE]
