    Yahh release the beast! Looks like it handles even better with the bags, definitely floats like a charm!

    Please do a review on this. There are very few around, would probably bring you some new traffic too

      Hey Bob, I just released a video that focuses on the Echo. Let me know what you think!

    That's what I call a stability test. 😳

      Hey thanks for watching! I used a 48” bag for the front and 36” for the back. From the photos I’ve seen from the side it seems to balance really well

      That’s great, are you outfitting an echo or something similar?

    Leaning into the current is kind of a big No! No! especially with a canoe with a lot of tumblehome.

      Depends on the situation but you’re right for the most part! If I’m exiting a rapid into an eddy it’s usually best to lean upriver, when entering a rapid it’s important to lean downriver as you mentioned.

    I just bought a Echo, waiting for it to come in. How is the wood gunnels holding up to the water? I went with this boat over the Adirondack due to wood gunnels and length. I’m about 240 and bringing a dog I wanted a little more room

      Haha great username. I think you’ll be happy with the extra length considering your weight and desire to bring your pup along. The wooden gunwales have been holding up well for me, I just gave them a seasonal sand and oiling last week, they are looking great! I added an extra layer of beeswax to help make a nice seal
