Is this wooden paddle functional to paddle a canoe? Is the 2.5 ft. size adequate to power a 13 ft. canoe?

No... Unless you are going to let a kid use it who won't be doing much work while in the water. You will want nothing less than 4.5 ft for a 13 ft canoe. My recommendation is for you to buy a telescoping plastic paddel so you can find what length works best for your size and skill.

It is more for decoration. I don't think that handle would be long enough to actually paddle a canoe.

I believe the 2.5 ft paddle might be too short for a 13ft canoe. Suggest you use the 4ft or 5ft, depending on your body size. I have the larger paddle, and think you would not be able to control the canoe with the shorter paddle. The longer paddles are adequate for a 13ft canoe.

Its good. Small speaker so its like listening to you cell phone but when listening to the weather band it was fine. Depends upon how close the canoes are. Its louder than a cell but has a lot of high end so soud doesnt travel too far. Hope that helps.

Should work as long as the dingy has a bit of a keel. I use it for a 16 foot canoe and works great.

If you think your canoe is big enough to fit a seat then you should have no problem with this one , it is not that big, think about a classroom chair and it's about the same thing

It's just 1 paddle. That's all you'll need. This can definitely double as a self defense tool against wasps or other flying things, possibly even for dispatching small game!

Sorry this response took so long. I bought it for my son and he was in Hawaii. I got it for him for surfboards, but he said it should work for paddleboards. There actually are videos on you tube that you can watch to get some more info. Hope this helps! Sorry I didn't have more info for you.

Yes, it is a two piece paddle. It could break fairly easy, but it works. I, also, bought a very light weight one, in addition to the one that came with it. i like the idea of the handle being two piece because it is easier to transport.

Maybe? The length of the canoe is no problem. It depends on how wide the boat is where you place the straps. They are about 4 ft long out of the box.

That would be hard for me to answer. We just use it for fun. It is very nice for the price and compact. We use it at the lake for our Grandkids to paddle around in. Many years ago we also owned another one that we used for our kids to paddle behind us connected by a rope to our canoe when we canoed on a MN river and they were grade school age.

I have a 21 foot sailboat that weighs approximately 1,200 lbs, and I have this motor on it. It works just fine getting us up and down the local river. Although it un-primes itself rather quickly once you turn it off, and it takes a minute to get primed enough and to pull it enough to start it. But once you get it started it runs quite well.

Should be able to handle a 16 ft kayak. You push the kayak/canoe like a wheel barrow.

It can fit many canoes by moving it fore or aft. This may not yield ideal placement, but will be in the ballpark for many 'casual recreation' canoes.

Probably, but it also depends on the size and model of your boat. If your using skinny sit in, it is probably is too much paddle. If your on a wide sit on top it might suit your needs...

If your canoe is under 150 pounds it probably will be okay. I hauled a 7" X 9" X 10' railroad tie approximates 100 pounds at it worked great. I have two Kayaks. One is 39 pounds and the other is 48 pounds. It handles them with ease.. the strap that comes with it to strap the canoe or kayak to it is adjustable for larger than my kayaks.

I really like mine. It is really comfortable. It blows up fast and the paddles that come with it are decent and come apart for storage. I went and bought a large canvass bag to store it in when not in use. On a windy day, it is hard to paddle though especially on a large body of water, but that would be true for most small water crafts.

Yes although most reviewers reported problems with them. I personally have not, but got a longer paddle given the boat's wide width (230 cm). Also got a small electric pump (airhead) which inflates to .92 psi, just what the kayak requires.

I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak. To specifically answer your question, here is what another reviewer said on Amazon, "I was a little concerned this would only work on a very small kayak but it works well on my wide 15' canoe. The tires do not take air since they are solid now so time will tell if they hold up but at least you don't need to worry about a flat." I am a mechanical engineer so based on my assessment you should have no issues with a canoe. The kayak/canoe just sit on the cart and you pull it by the front of the kayak/canoe. Wheels come off easily and folds easily for storage during your time on the water. It's a nice design. I am not the one who uses this, but my stepson says it works great for his kayak.
