I just saw on "Explore New England" You Tube channel about your freighter rendezvous on Moosehead Lake. I never heard of a Maine Freighter or this style of canoe, It got me so intrigued, I started researching this style of canoe and dang, it is very rare to find. I only saw 1 place that builds them in Maine and nothing found on the used market. I guess more will be possibly on the market come spring. I would like to be able to go out on bigger waters fishing by myself if my sons cannot make it. Issue is, I'm a BIG person, hence my channels Title. When I sit in our current canoe, I need a passenger because the nose comes up way to high. I figure if I go to a much longer and beamer canoe, I can go solo on the Western Lakes in ME. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Beautiful! Sold my 21 foot fiberglass freighter i bought off a builder in Maine and I miss it. Scott canoe copied his thwart free design with step through center seat and I think two rivers sells the new design. My 5 hp was too small. What do you run?

9.9 Yamaha but repowering to a 15 Yamaha this winter…

@@NorthernFreighterCanoe That sounds great! The guy I bought my freighter from recommended a Yamaha 20 HP. I wished I had powered it with that and with the ability to power up and down for low water use. Best wishes.
