Its a Pioner kano

I have looked on the company website, they dont specialise in canoes but mostly working vessels.

Has anyone seen one like this?

Its some kind of PVC

Each seat is a bouyancy tank, the front one has a watertight hold.

Well done Tengu, looks like a good user

Plenty of room up front for some camping gear too by the looks.

This why women get the **** taken out of them by blokes. The water should be on the outside.

Hey, if the water stays in then the boat's waterproof, isn't it?

Looks like some sort of canoe-kayak hybrid...those bucket seats make me think it would be easier to propel with a double-blade paddle.
Did paddles come with?
Tengu

Yes.

it came with dingy paddles

From what I gather from the website its been designed with the hiring trade in mind.

it seems to have at one point posessed rowlocks!!!!!
