Rob Roys and decked canoes

I’m planning on buying a lightweight decked canoe for daytripping and weekending in large, choppy lakes and the nearshore Maine coast. Are there alternatives to the Bell Rob Roys? How do the Rob Roy 12 and 15 compare? (I’m 6’2", 185#)

Possibly speed and capacity are the
main differences. The 15 footer may be better in rough water, though I’ve never paddled either. Then, or course, there’s the price difference.

My mind was WAAAAY off base
I thought this was going to be a post about how to mix 50’s era drinks while seated in a canoe.



I am terribly dissapointed too.



No comments on the Rob Roy canoes. I’ve never paddled them.
