 Red Rock Store issues the following warning:

Be on the lookout, folks! Desperate sales people of Brand X kevlar canoes (all made with vinylester resin - don’t forget that fact) are offering their new hull as being the same canoe as a Souris River Quetico 17. One of my biggest Boundary Waters outfitters, after extensive paddling in real conditions has declared Brand X’s “supposedly-the-same-as-a-Quetico 17-canoe” a “dog” in the water compared to a Souris River Quetico 17. It’s a typical Brand X in poorly fitting sheep’s clothing - narrow front end, no room for your feet, sluggish with a load, doesn’t handle rough water as well, etc. And, now, we’re hearing the SAME CRAP about epoxy degredation by the usual Brand X sales suspects.

They simply can’t beat a Souris River Quetico 17, they know it and this is how they play ball. Read my Baloney Vortex for all your questions answered regarding the lame accusations made by the panicking Brand X sales people for details concerning epoxy resin and Souris River Canoes.
