Hi,

Looking for pro's/con's on Swift Keewaydin 15 and Placid Boatworks Rapidfire. I understand the Rapidfire is a pack boat, Keewaydin is a canoe that can be ordered as a pack boat. Planning a 11-12 day spring trip in Algonquin Park in 2020. They both look like quality boats; I will be fly fishing and spin fishing but the focus will be on fly fishing.
t's why I am leaning to the Keewaydin with the adjustable seat but the Rapidfire looks to be a much better value.
Forgot to add this will be a solo trip, looking for a solo canoe.

Seem priced similarly when you consider exchange. I would prefer the Swift and buy local. Buying new or used?

In 2006 I had the opportunity to meet the owners of Placid Boatworks in the original Lake Placid shop, real nice folk. They lent me one of their pack boats. It was an excellent ride. http://placidboatworks.com
