WENONAH FUSION Canoe- Demoed
Pulling a boat for a customer looking for a Wee Lassie I found tis one. This is a beautiful ultralight canoe, and honestly, I’m not sure why it’s been sitting in the warehouse so long. I think we thought it was a Wee Lassie. If you check out the reviews on Paddling.net, you’ll see it’s a well‑loved design with a great reputation on the water.
We’ve reduced the price to below our cost because it deserves to be out on a lake, not hanging in our rafters. If you’re looking for an ultralight canoe that’s perfect to paddle with a kayak paddle or canoe paddle, this one is absolutely worth a look. Read the review at the bottom.
This boat has been Demoed so there may be a scratch. It's complete with the seatback. This boat is a traditional canoe with a hung seat, it does not have the rudder.

The Fusion is a uniquely designed solo blending features of both a canoe and kayak for recreation and fishing. It can be paddled with a double or single blade paddle.. The padded high back seat comes standard and allows for hours of comfort. Lighter, quicker, and more maneuverable than any fishing kayak, the Fusion also runs drier and holds more gear while keeping it all readily accessible. Designed for personal accessorization of rod holders and storage trays for a truly customized craft. Rudder is optional.
Purchased the Fusion after…
Wenonah has hit one out of the park with this boat, for my purposes and I think, many others. The Fusion, in Royalex, weighs in @ 45#, is 13'x32". The centered seat is mounted low, the canoe is stable,manueverable, and quick. The Lincoln waddled, inspite of a keel, the Nature bound was ok, but turned hard, and the Pack was just too light and tender with the cane seat height (however, with a lower seat this is a good canoe for portage at 33#). I have a P.O. Wheelee canoe cart on the Fusion which effectively reduces the 45# to 22.5# for the purposes of portage and cartopping (end mounted with 16" wheels, rolling the canoe upside down);I can get to any water with this combination.
Wenonah wisely gave the canoe a lot of forethought, the 13'length and 45# weight improve the stability over the other short canoes. The depth, low shear, and hull configuration are ideal, seat's nice and wide too. I'm 6',175 and an intermediate skill paddler. I'm very pleased with this canoe. They have a foot brace arrangement for those who want to cruise, and perhaps use a kayak paddle, I took the bar out, I switch side paddle and usually am not in any rush. I was concerned about the 4 rivet holes in the hull which hold the bar tracks, but it hasn't leaked thus far, if it does, I'd put some duct tape over the rivet head, until I found a better solution. The bar seems unnecessary, this is not a cruiser. I make the P.O. Wheelee and see a lot of canoes, this one's a peach.
