Clearly there is a place for such a boat. It may never take the place of Royalex in extreme whitewater, but it clearly has a niche where combination usage exists.

​Not only will it survive whitewater abuse, but it will prove to be a much better paddling canoe on the rest of the river and out across the lakes as well. In fact, the Skeena is not just a river canoe. Its high volume design makes this an excellent canoe for big lakes like Superior. And don’t let the size of this canoe fool you – she’s faster than she looks.

​The Skeena will be especially appreciated when you have to pick it up on the portages and place it on your shoulders. The Skeena may be just a shade over 16½ feet but it is a hefty hull in many ways except in weight. At 52 pounds (in the whitewater layup), it is upwards of 30 pounds lighter than a comparable plastic hull. This canoe is raising some eyebrows and generating interest among whitewater enthusiasts.
