| SPORTSPAL Canoes by Meyers are a premier sporting canoe.
Stretch formed out of hardened aircraft aluminum and lined with
Eathafoam (closed cell polyethylene) they won't sink, and the lining
makes the canoe very quiet. . Fully loaded and swamped with water,
your SPORTSPAL will continue to float. Swimmers or hunting
dogs can climb in from the water. The SPORTSPAL is very stable.
Four color options including two camouflage. A wide flat
bottom coupled with the side eathafoam sponsons adds to the stability of
the Sportspal. |

From
the Sportspal Frequently Asked Questions page
Q. Is the Sportspal really that
stable?
A. Yes, it is one of the most stable canoes that you can buy. Of course it must
also be used properly to achieve maximum stability. For instance -
overloading one end of the canoe will make it unbalanced and affect stability.
It is best to distribute the weight uniformly. For example, best stability
is achieved by having the sponsons evenly level with the water from front to
back - this may require putting some gear forward if you are in the boat alone
or with a lighter front passenger. Also, when swimmers or dogs climb into
the Sportspal, it is best for the passenger in the canoe to counterbalance the
boat by leaning in the opposite direction. Many of the testimonials
state that they stand up in the Sportspal -- this is not recommended for
safety reasons and
does not mean that you cannot fall out of the boat. Remember no boat is
totally unsinkable or untippable - Remember the Titanic. Using
common sense and good boating practice will add to the Sportspal's integral
stability.

Sportspal Model S-11 Square Stern Canoe in Olive Drab
|
Sportspal Square Stern Canoes
|
The Sportspal Canoe by Meyers was especially
designed for fishing and hunting. 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. Also the canoe design gives you much more
room than many duck or layout boats. The Sportspal is designed to give
year round use, adaptable to many sports activities.

Sportspal Quality |
|
The Sportspal by Meyers is
manufactured from Aircraft Grade Aluminum, which is then stretch-formed,
heat treated and hardened. The two piece hull is joined at
the keel. This makes the Sportspal by Meyers very durable.
The Sportspal by Meyers, Made in the USA, should not be confused
with another canoe manufactured in Canada, whose hull is composed of
thinner (0.022), softer (marine grade) aluminum. The Sponsons and
Liner on the Sportspal by Meyers are also larger and thicker than the
Canadian model.

Sportspal Canoe Seat Options
There are Two Types of Seat Options Available for
the Sportspal Canoe |
 |
|
 |
| Eathafoam Seats Stow in Bulkhead when not in
use. These are loose seats that sit anywhere in the bottom
of the canoe. They provide maximum stability due to their
low center of gravity. Their low profile makes them a
favorite of hunters. |
|
Gunwale Seats are aluminum with an eathafoam
pad on top. These are bench style, suspended seats.
You sit high up in the canoe with a gunwale seat. Most
fishermen prefer to sit higher, so they choose these style seats. |
 |
|
 |

thwart. Sitting on bottom gives
