Esquif Rangeley 17 Freighter Canoe Review - Big Lake

Wonder how the Esquif Rangeley 17 handles big lakes and waves? This video shows you how this freighter canoe travels on a big lake in the Yukon, and we also explain the other features that made us select this freighter canoe amongst others.

Researching Youtube reviews before purchasing this freighter canoe, we could not find any videos reviewing the stability of the Rangeley 17 on bigger lakes and waves, which was one of the main reasons that we wanted this boat so we could explore further remote backcountry areas.

So I thought you would appreciate this review in case you are wondering the same thing and may be interested in purchasing the Esquif Rangeley 17.

Hi Sophie
Just seen your video on the Rangeley and I am wondering if your outboard motor has a short or long shaft. I measured the transom on mine and it just shy of 20". That tells me a long shaft is the motor I should get, but canoes sit in the water differently than a regular aluminum fishing boat. Anyways I know your video is a few years old but hopefully you see message and are able respond. Thanks

How is the leg and foot comfort in the bow and stern seats with the V shape floor?
