what is the perfect canude ?
I like my 12 ft Native WaterCraft Ultimate. Is is actually a kayak/canoe hyprid. Much like an open faced kayak. It has no cockpit. It has a double trough hull, Like a transmission humb down the middle. It is stable enough to carefully stand in. I and the dog fit within its 300 lb weight limit. I can set up my tripod and camera in it with one short leg in the middle and two longer legs in the lower sections. I can grip it with my knees if need be.

It has sockets for fishing rod holders. Here you see the safety flag I made to use whenever I am in a heavily trafficed area of the lake. I have camoflaged everything to help with nature photography. Thus I am not very visible and need the flag at times.

perfection like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i like my 14' rogue river. it's a 3 seater although i usually don't have more than 2 people and truck load of fishing gear in it. i have modified it a bit by adding 4 rod holders and i've built a trolling motor mount for it so i can use a 30 hp trolling motor on it when i'm fishing. i've never personally used it for a canoe trip, only fishing trips.
