To add further persuasion -- This thing will not last so much in years, as it will in decades.  Aluminum canoes get a bad rap from some folks (due to supposed noise more than anything), and while that is certainly true, so are these items:

1.  They're far more durable than any other material;

2.  The noise isn't really a big deal -- I used one for a full week on a motor-less, unassuming MN lake last spring and felt quite sneaky;

3.  You can start a fire in the middle of the boat for warmth; 

4.  There is something very, very American about aluminum canoes;

5.  You can completely abuse and neglect them; and 

6.  Most are made to a similar, standard geometry that is very easy to stand and fly cast out of from the front or back.  

Seriously, I can't imagine how many fish have probably been caught in this country out of aluminum canoes -- 

I would trade my heavy, crappy fiberglass canoe for a 16-17' aluminum boat any day, any time and I truly regret not buying an aluminum boat instead of that one.

I might be further persuaded if Gene and Beth were standing by, for however long I owned this canioe, to ferry it to ANY destination provide shuttle service on demand.  I can only add that if the Boy Scouts of America can use and abuse aluminum canoes with abandon all over America the rest of us can be assured it's a very fine and durable product.

Well, we could do that, but our fees are outrageous.  We make time-shares look cheap!
