I highly recommend Steve Sherwood of Ultralite Paddling, and cannot say enough about the quality of work, level of detail and excellent workmanship that is dedicated to Ultralite canoes made by Slipstream Watercraft. They are light, strong and very dependable. I got the Sportduo 13 and was very happy with it, but what impressed me most about about my experience with Ultralite was the customer service. Steve really went that extra mile to try to make my experience as comfortable and convenient as possible. His attention to detail was impressive, and in this day and age that level of customer attention and service has become increasingly rare. Cannot say enough positive things!
