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.

Our 13' will fit a 13' 2" kayak. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

Yes! It's just the right size also. That reminds me I have to cook some rice now..having veggies and rice tonight for dinner. The paddle comes with and is perfect!

I have had this canoe about a year and a half. Last time I took it out I did get stuck a few times in the Moncacy river due to shallow water (probably less than 6 inches). I will say though that it needs a minimal amount of water to float.

I've been using it on a calm lake. If it is a rough river, that you need to make it upstream it may be hard. The paddles aren't the best, there is no foot pressure to get the full thrust of each stroke. One day i was out and it was pretty windy and i could barely keep moving against the wind. That said, if you are going on a river that is fairly calm or you are just traveling with the current it should be fine. I'd watch out for shallow rocks, as I saw one of these tear by scraping on a rock when being put into the water.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

I am sure it would. I bought it for an electric trolling motor because it is designed to be recharged frequently without harming the integrity of the battery. My Son and his girl friend used it on our canoe last weekend and went for some distance solely on the motor. No paddling. It will certainly turn over an outboard.

This mounting system is good for canoes, but that's about it. I used it on a small fishing boat and as soon as the boat went faster than 2-3 mph the system needed to be pulled from the water to prevent the shaft from breaking.

Yes, I've used it for both a canoe and a kayak. I have a large canoe that is too wide for the t-bar so I added a length of 1x1 oak to the top that sticks out several inches on each side. My sit-on top fits nicely on it.

Nice paddle. If you plan on smashing mail boxes it might not be strong enough. May want to consider a baseball bat.

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

I use it to power my 2000 lb 19 foot fibreglass sailboat in and out of its mooring. It moves it along fairly well ( faster than trolling speed for sure) I wouldn't want it to be my only source of power in much wind. I'm quite happy with it.

Yes, it is simply a small cart that you strap to the end of any canoe and then pull it from the other end of the canoe. So the length of the canoe or kayaj doesn't matter.

It is very lightweight. I'm bad at guessing weights, but 3lbs maybe? I'm a very small person and have no issues using this paddle. Durable, lightweight, and works very well. No complaints!

This paddle has an adjustable length from 210 CM to 220 cm which works out to about 82.6 to 86.6 inches, It is nice to have the paddles be adjustable if you have boats of different widths OR if you vary between High and low angle paddling.

This pump may be too powerful for the paddle board. I would recommend using the hand pump that is supposed to be supplied with the board.

I received one, which is what I was expecting. It's a decent paddle. I play against my high school students, and it works as well as any paddles they bring. The surface is sufficiently sticky to make spinning easy.
