I am thinking of getting the Wee Too. As it is the length I like. I am just courious about the seats. I wish not to daul paddle i am wondering if a regular seat would allow me to paddle my canoe the traditional way. or is there another option for a 12ish foot canoe kit. Please note this will be my first kit and i have tons of time to do it right the first time.
please help, any info would be greatly appreciated.

I recently finished a Wee Lassie II, similarly based on Rushton's designs.

I've used it the last couple of weekends with a single blade. It's not easy to track straight, as you sit in the center and can't really get the angle for a good "J". You'll be too top heavy with a standard canoe seat - you really have to sit in the bottom.
Finally finished the paddle tonight; can't wait to try it this weekend!
