Spring Creek Manufacturing Hydrodynamic Canoe Stabilizer Float Package

This stabilizer system is fantastic. I tested it out this weekend solo in a 17 foot alumacraft with no other weight than myself, and I can stand in the canoe with no problems and sit as high as Id like. I put close to all my weight, 200 pounds, on one gunwale at a time and can't capsize the canoe, and I capsized this canoe last week without the stabilizers on in the same lake. This will be Great for fishing , and taking the canoe practically anywhere with the kids. The stabilizer is durable, very well built, and takes five minutes to attach to the canoe with easy transport Anyone who had trouble with the floats shifting simply didn't tighten the easily adjustable quick release clamps, that problem is on those canoe owners and not the manufacturer. As you can tell, I highly recommend this product, I was originally put off by the price but as soon as I received the product i saw the high quality and am glad I didn't waste my time with the few other options out there.

So the one thing I can say is I wish I had this kit sooner. I am a big guy at 240 lbs and even with the pontoons all the way in it takes the tippynes out of the equation. I slide them out only one setting to achive stand up fishing from a notabley tippy Meyers Sportspal s-12 with a 4 inch Higher seat than traditional bench seat.. I run the pontoons as high up as they go to i don't drag them and it totally improves my experience on the water 10 fold. Now to the bad part of this kit. No matter how tight i crancked the blue pontoon adjustment handle one of my pontoons would always turn and that effects the draft of the canoe dramaticly. I did the same thing anthor reviewer did and that was to drill a straight hole throught as you can see in photos and added a safety pin from home depot. the size is in photo. this solved the problem and now I am happier with my canoe than I was with a fancy fiberglass bass boat. Super stable and you will wonder why you haven't bought years ago. Ps I ordered the 45 inch and love it as i suck the pontoons in all the way when trying to travel fast to my fishing spot. To Spring Creek Manufacturing thank you for such an amazing product, but please add a pin to keep pontoons from rotating. Have fun. Be safe. Fish on!

It works great in our Kevlar canoe. Easy to install with no modifications to my canoe. Do not like the system for lowering the floaters, since you can not do it while you are in the canoe and all the weight is applied. Also, to carried the canoe to the river in my car I have to take the floaters off and place them inside the car. Do not trust the they will stay while going in the highway. But I am happy that makes the canoe very stable and does not interfere with paddling and navigating. It is a bit expensive for the materials used in my opinion.

Works well. I have a very light composite canoe (40 lbs) which is very unstable when there is no gear/weight in it. Tips very easily. Almost unusable especially by yourself/solo paddling.Now with the outriggers, it it very stable. It adds about 8lbs which helps make my light canoe more stable as well. I can stand up and also straddle up and down the canoe length and it still remains stable.I can use it solo and cruise along at good speed and stability.

Purchased on the 1st of June and had it by the 3rd of June. Just tried it out today. Love how easy it attaches without needing to make any alterations to my canoe. I have an Old Town Saranac XT146 canoe. Without stabilizers, my canoe was so tippy,I could not make a move without it wanting to tip over. These stabilizers made my canoe very stable. My canoe is 36.5 inches wide at its widest point. I purchased the 45 inch mount so I had approximately 4.5 inches sticking out past the gun rail over the water. Very glad I got the bigger size. Plenty of room to paddle between the floats and the side of the canoe.8/22/2021Still works great but got added value from this kit as it becomes the main mounting base for my new sail boat kit from sailboatstogo.com. Their sailboat kit attaches to the unused channel of the mount for the leeboards and bow sprint where the mast mount sits. I was excited by the fact that I could turn my Old Town canoe into a sail boat just by adding a sail kit to it. It requires no tools to mount the sail kit just like this stabilizer kit.

As shown in the photo, this product managed to fit on this moster 17" canoe. The edge that these products need to attach to is on the outside as opposed to inside (and unfortunately most products are designed solely for inside edges. I just flipped the clamps around and they worked without issue. I got the biggest size, which I recommend if you have a flatbottom canoe, and as you can see they are plenty of the sides to do their Jon (and they certainly do). This normally tippy canoe is now solid and allowing me to fight muskies and bass on the lake without worrying at all about if I'm taking a swim.

Not only is this product extremely well made in USA, it is a cinch to install with no tools. And with my 15-foot Kevlar canoe, now two adults can stand up and sight fish with confidence, or one can paddle standing up while the other sight fishes. Awesome product and well worth it if you are serious about fishing from a canoe.

works very well for what it was designed for ..however ......it may interfer with paddle stroke on short canoes like a 13 ft'er. ..Better suited to longer canoe's . I had to mount it forward of where I sit to keep it out of the way on my Wee Lassie 13ft canoe...and had to still use a short paddle
