Each year we buy many thousands of dollars worth of canoes and kayaks specifically for demo purposes so that our customers can have an opportunity to try before you buy! Many stores do not offer this service (if they do it might only be on one day a year). At our stores, you can try (weather permitting) 6 days a week.
We know of no better way to determine which boat you should be buying.
