Very similar to transitioning from a 25' up to a 30' super-duper, luxuriating cruiser; this boating season I have transitioned from a $300-17' aluminum rowing canoe down to a $285-15' aluminum rowing canoe. Went from a 1965 Grumman to a 1968 Sea Nympth, and took my $100-1980 A-Row-Bic slide seat rower out of the Grumman and into the Nympth.
So, what's the difference between a 17' and a 15' aluminum canoe?
About two feet ........ duh!
