The new 20' Mackenzie has huge capacity, is roomy enough for my family with several children, gear, and more; plenty fast; very stable; and maneuverable. It has enough rocker and fullness to turn well (as a canoe should...none of this "no rocker" bologna). The stability is rock solid for a canoe. (Shallow arch hull) The amount of free-board is impressive (17" center depth, 24" symmetrical flared bow and stern), seats are comfortable, and paddling position widths are good. (Sliding bow seat).My Mackenzie weighs 80 lbs (Kevlar) so I can move and load it by myself...very good for a boat of this size. It is red with black trim, sculpted wood yoke, and a vacuum-bagged-foam core. (First-rate workmanship.)
It is nice to have a boat of this caliber, quality, & versatility built on the West Coast (British Columbia to be exact) at a competitive price.
I rate it a 10 because the excellent design and quality workmanship have come together to make canoeing fun, safe, and easy for larger families. I am looking forward to canoe camping out of it.
