Row row row my boat or not?

[tibs]

Okay..i'll make this thread quick.

Want to buy a canoe BUT have 1 major issue.

I have 2 kids, a canoe (if i buy it), camping gear and canoe gear (life jackest etc...) and with the addition of a canoe need to fit it all in a chevy Cavalier 4 door. (hmmmm)

Garage space is also a small issue so getting a trailer is also out.

A canoe has been a life long dream and passion and something i'd love to share with my kids (oh i also live in toronto Canada and am 1-3 hours away from lakes-rivers limiting my usage to long weekends etc...)

I'm torn my heart says buy my head says "err i dunno Twoif space is gonna be tiiiiiiiiight if even opossible and you might only use it 3-4 times a year)

So....any advice or comments is appreciated....

cheers

so torn... lol

buy the damn canoe already.....Coleman makes some really fantastic ones, my brother has a Scanoe DLX...not sure if it is the biggest but we have had 4 adults(2 seated and two on the floor of the canoe) and large cooler...check it out

Look into an inflatable Ocean Kayak. They are similar and I've known people who take them down (easier) whitewater rivers.. They are pretty durable yet compact into something smaller than a suitcase.
