I'm portaging a 55lb 16.5ft prospector. It has a fairly decent ash yoke which I pad with a lifejacket.
Last week I saw some canoes from St Regis Outfitters that had a more simple wooden yoke and some pads bolted on.
Think I might need to upgrade my kit. Ideally, I'd just unscrew the wooden yoke from the gunwales and replace it with an aluminum thwart with bolt-on pads. (Yes the wooden yoke looks cool and woody, but on multi thousand metre carries every ounce counts...).
This could be a DIY project for next winter, or maybe y'all could suggest some good suppliers?
Saw some good ideas in a thread back in 2016 "Canoe seat options, and a portage yoke rant".
