MyCanoe POP Folding Portable Canoe 14.5 ft canoe folds small enough to fit in a car trunk, back seat, or RV.Fits 2 people. Can be paddled solo if you are an experienced paddler. I purchased this last summer and was able to use it once, but due to health issues I am having to give up paddling as a hobby, so I am having to sell my canoes and kayaks. There are some cosmetic scuff marks on the outer surface of the canoe as you would expect from any watercraft that has been put in the water, but it is in excellent condition. This is a fun canoe and very portable.
Easy to assemble and disassemble once you've viewed the video and practiced it a couple of times, which is recommended prior to getting to a lake with it the first time. It is a recreational canoe and best used in lakes. It works best launched from a dock. It can be launched from shore, but be aware that would require getting your feet wet due to the keels. I would not recommend this canoe for expeditions.
It isn't designed to go to the BWCA, for example, as it would require 2 people to portage and it would not be easy to secure packs to the inner skeleton (as it doesn't really have one).

How do I care for MYCANOE? A. We recommend treating your MYCANOE as you would a fiberglass, wood, or skin-on-frame canoe: don’t drag it or bump into sharp things, store out of direct sunlight, and rinse the canoe thoroughly with fresh water after each use.Q. How stable is a MYCANOE? A. MYCANOE POP is quite stable and difficult to capsize. However, we recommend that inexperienced paddlers go with a companion, and don't attempt to use the MYCANOE in conditions beyond their skill level.Q.
Does the MYCANOE float? A. Yes, the MYCANOE is buoyant and will float even if it capsizes. However, we recommend taking every safety precaution, including personal flotation devices and floating bags. Do NOT strap heavy gear to your canoe - you will lose both gear and canoe in case of an overturn! Q. Will repeated folding weaken the hull?
A. The body of MYCANOE is manufacturer rated for 20,000 fold cycles - that's a lot of folds! Q. Is MYCANOE dog friendly? A. A lot of MYCANOE owners routinely paddle with their four-legged friends. MYCANOE is very sturdy and dog's claws won't hurt. Q. Can I take MYCANOE on a plane?
A. Yes, MYCANOE can be checked as luggage, and the best way to protect MYCANOE during transport is to cover with a protective material (e.g. blanket).Q. Can It Be Used For Fishing? A. Yes. With minor modifications the MYCANOE can be outfitted with a rod holder. Another great choice for outfitting your MYCANOE is with one of RAM's mounts— RAM Mounts makes a Tough Claw, that works perfectly on the MYCANOE.
Clamps down tight without drilling any holes, and you can then attach a rod holder, or cup holder,camera mount, fish finder, etc. The RAM Mount can then be paired with a YakAttack or RAM rod holder. We recommend a stabilizer kit for added stability when fishing.Q. Can I attach a trolling motor to the MyCanoe? A. Yes.
We recommend a small lightweight motor to properly protect the hull and gunwales from damage. SailboatsToGo.com has motor bracket for MyCanoe POP.Q. Can I take the MYCANOE in salt water? A. Salt water will not damage the MYCANOE. Just make sure to rinse the inside and outside of the hull, all joints, parts and accessories after each use.
Dry before folding.Q. What if I hit a rock? A. Avoid rocks. However, if you do hit one, you and your MYCANOE should be fine. We’ve tested it on rocky beaches and even attempted to crack the hull with a hammer.Q.
