“Both Discovery 119 models are great options for sportsmen – both are light and nimble, making them easy to transport and paddle,” said Old Town marketing manager Ryan Lilly. The Solo Sportsman is very similar to Old Town’s popular Discovery 119 canoe save a few distinguishing characteristics. The recently introduced Solo Sportsman, which was specifically designed for and is being marketed to fishermen and hunters, is the latest paddle-powered craft from the venerable Maine-based Old Town Canoe Co. The new Old Town Discovery 119 Solo Sportsman might be the exception. But a cross-pollination sprinkled with features from each design that often fails to satisfy the one-size-fits-all crowd. Not because of what they are, but because of what they are not. Canoe/kayak hybrids generally please almost no one.
