Camper 16's hull....it oilcanned badly. I think the Penobscot16 is much more efficient, but with your weight approximation I'd go with a Tripper17 = sounds like THE boat for your intention. However if you're going to paddle more in the future with less weight specs.. Why not just rent a Tripper....how many trips will you be making with total weight approaching half a ton?....
