    From the Sportspal Frequently Asked Questions page 
 
Q. Is the Sportspal really that stable?

A. Yes, it is one of the most stable canoes that you can buy.  Of course it must also be used properly to achieve maximum stability.  For instance - overloading one end of the canoe will make it unbalanced and affect stability.  It is best to distribute the weight uniformly.  For example, best stability is achieved by having the sponsons evenly level with the water from front to back - this may require putting some gear forward if you are in the boat alone or with a lighter front passenger.  Also, when swimmers or dogs climb into  the Sportspal, it is best for the passenger in the canoe to counterbalance the boat by leaning in the opposite direction.  Many of the testimonials  state that  they stand up in the Sportspal -- this is not recommended for safety reasons and does not mean that you cannot fall out of the boat.  Remember no boat is totally unsinkable or untippable - Remember the Titanic.  Using common sense and good boating practice will add to the Sportspal's integral stability. 

 

SPORTSPAL  Canoes by Meyers are a premier sporting canoe.  Stretch formed out of hardened aircraft aluminum and lined with Eathafoam (closed cell polyethylene) they won't sink, and the lining makes the canoe very quiet. .  Fully loaded and swamped with water, your SPORTSPAL will continue to float.  The SPORTSPAL is very stable.  Four color options including two camouflage.   A wide flat bottom coupled with the side eathafoam sponsons makes the Sportspal  the most stable canoe available.

S-13XW with rowing feature

Preinstalled Paddle Lock sockets allow you to use your paddles as oars, so you can row your Sportspal Canoe.  Adding Option CL-1 quickly converts your paddles to an oar.

 

 



Sportspal Wide Transom Canoes

The Sportspal Canoe by Meyers was especially designed for fishing and hunting. Being very light, it is easy to portage.  And, of course, since you virtually cannot sink a Sportspal, all that valuable gear that sportsmen carry have less chance of accidental loss. Also the canoe design gives you much more room than many duck or layout boats.  The Sportspal is designed to give year round use, adaptable to many sports activities.

Made in the USA

Sportspal Canoe Logo Sportspal Quality

The Sportspal by Meyers is manufactured from Aircraft Grade Aluminum, which is then stretch-formed, heat treated and hardened.  The  two piece hull is joined at the keel.  This makes the Sportspal by Meyers very durable.  The Sportspal by Meyers, Made in the USA,  should not be confused with another canoe manufactured in Canada, whose hull is composed of thinner (0.022), softer (marine grade) aluminum.  The Sponsons and Liner on the Sportspal by Meyers are also larger and thicker than the Canadian model.

         

 

 

S-13XW Wide Transom Detail View

The Wide Transom is reinforced and has heavy duty corner castings.  Note the Paddle Lock socket installed on the transom to allow you to scull or steer with a paddle, when you add the CL-1 option which clamps onto the paddle to convert it to an oar.

Sportspal Canoe Seat Options 
There are Two Types of Seat Options Available for the Sportspal Canoe

Eathfoam seats   Gunwale seats
Eathafoam Seats Stow in Bulkhead when not in use.  These are loose seats that sit anywhere in the bottom of the canoe.  They provide maximum stability due to their low center of gravity.  Their  low profile makes them a favorite of hunters.   Gunwale Seats are aluminum with an eathafoam pad on top.  These are bench style, suspended seats.  You sit high up in the canoe with a gunwale seat.  Most fishermen prefer to sit higher, so they choose these style seats.
