    Default Tengu finds a Canoe









    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?

    No - but it looks good.

    Tengu, I'm in awe at what you find.

    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.

    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?

    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!!!!!

    Excellent

    So Tengu, what are you going to do with it? Get out on the river and enjoy yourself?
