Available in olive drab and red Advantages of our Sportspal canoes Lightweight Durable Impact Resistant Aluminum Aluminum's light weight means more GO with less PUSH. Canoes are easy to paddle, carry and handle better on car tops, towing and launching. High tensile strengths and stiffness means excellent hull integrity, long lasting durability, and high strength-to-weight ratio. Elasticity of the metal due to it's 2.5% magnesium content reduce chances of puncturing. Underwater objects frequently only dent rather than puncture the hull. 5052 marine aluminum will not become brittle, delaminate, peel, waterlog, check, rot or swell. It assures uniform thickness of hull sections.
