I made a post on this board a few days ago about canoe and kayak stability and received some replies which made me have more questions. I called French Creek Outfitters where I purchased my Wilderness Ride 115 the beginning of last year because they also were listed as selling Sportspal canoes which I am interested buying. When I mentioned about purchasing my Wilderness from them last year the salesman told me they were no longer selling Wilderness products as they were in trouble financially. He said as a matter of fact most of the higher end kayak companies are in financial trouble due to a bad last year due to the bad weather and so many cheaper kayaks on the market. Was wondering if anyone else has heard anything similar? Thanks, Pop
