I'm not getting any younger and lifting canoes up and off the car rack isn't getting any easier, so I decided to put a big dent in our savings and buy a lightweight version of my fiberglass Curtis Lady Bug, which I love paddling here on New England's small quickwater streams and marshy ponds. The two canoes that seem to be comparable are the Northstar Firebird and Savage River Illusion. I got to paddle an Illusion for a couple of days back in 2019 and I really enjoyed that boat but it's...

I picked up a decked canoe from Savage River a couple weeks ago and finally got some pictures. The Falcon uses the hull of their solo canoe Blackwater. Now I need it to get above freezing to get out and paddle this beauty! I need to add that the customer service at SR is over the top and they are a great company to deal with!

Has anyone here tried the Swift? Does anyone have a comparison on the Swift vs Blackwater regarding speed and handling.
