Sportspal By Meyers S-13 Canoe With Transom

Meyers Sportspal S-13 (13’ 2”) with 13” transom, two (foam cushioned) seats. Paddles and pin lock set included. Literally unsinkable and the most stable wide canoe on the market. Ideal for fishing or hunting. The transom is ideal to place a troller or larger motor.

Bought new in 2009. Used only ONCE for two hours at Lake Anna Va, kept outside only in 2009 (off the ground on cement patio) and then garaged kept the last 14 years. Practically in brand new condition! The only wear is the paint on the bottom which chipped off in spots due to the hot sun in summer of 2009, easily fixable. Hard to find these right now as Meyers temporarily stopped producing them due to material supply issues.

Sportspal by Meyers S-13 Canoes are manufactured from 0.032" Aircraft Grade Aluminum (thicker then the Radisson much thiner version) which is then stretch-formed, heat treated and hardened. The two piece hull is joined with solid rivets at the external keel and internal keelson, where the canoe is most reinforced. This makes Sportspal canoes very durable. Extraordinary stability and safety make these fine canoes excellent for family recreation, fishing or hunting. Lined with closed cell ethafoam so they won't sink even if fully loaded with water.

The special lining makes these canoes very quiet. A duck hunters gun's recoil will not flip the Sportspal, and his dog can climb in and out for retrieving game. Being very light, it is easy to portage. And, of course, since you virtually cannot sink a Sportspal, all that valuable gear that sportsmen carry have less chance of accidental loss. The Sportspal is designed to give year round use, adaptable to many sports activities.

A wide flat bottom coupled with the side ethafoam sponsons makes Sportspal canoes the most stable canoes available. Sportspal canoes are made in the USA, and should not be confused with another canoe manufactured in Canada, whose hull is composed of thinner 0.022" and softer (marine grade) aluminum. This competitor canoe has a seam on each end plus three exposed seams on each side where thin aluminum is then joined with sheet metal screws and caulk. The caulk often needs to be replaced if scraped against a rock, or dries out and cracks. Key Features... - Sportspal Canoes are manufactured from ultra-light aircraft aluminum.
