Ouzels are playful,
wren-shaped birds adept in the air, happy on stream shores where
they nest, and dexterous under water where they feed.
This mastery of mediums exemplifies our two all-around Ouzel
canoes -- boats which handle both flatwater and tough whitewater
competently.
Stability
is the key to the Ouzels' versatility...
You'll feel confident sending the kids out on the lake, leaning
over the gunwales to net a salmon, or standing up to flyfish.
A buoyant bow and stern allows these canoes to climb over the
waves of a choppy lake or a turbulent river. And because Ouzels
are so buoyant, you can pack them full of bodies and gear. Ouzel 15-8 -- Shorter and
lighter, it is easy to cartop, hang in the garage, or store
around the cabin. It is a favorite of the solo sportsman. And
its 1075-pound capacity facilitates long camping trips.
Ouzel 17 --
With a capacity of 1200 pounds, it is popular among those who
camp often. Wilderness adventurers appreciate its roominess
and high capacity, families value its extra stability.
