If stability is tops on your list, the Cascade is an excellent choice.  With a shallow arch hull and soft chines this canoe is more controllable in bad weather than other canoes built for speed.  Great for families and pets, the Cascade is a versatile boat that can handle lake or river travel.  It also has enough capacity for tripping with gear.  It's got standard bucket seats (very comfortable!) and a footbrace in the stern. 

This boat is the kevlar layup with with black trim, deluxe contoured yoke, and sliding bow seat for trimming the boat.
