It depends a lot on the intended use. If you do a lot of tripping involving portages you will rapidly come to see the drawbacks of Royalex. It's heavy. It is way cool for white water though. In my experience 15' isn't big enough for anything longer than an overnight trip. The best all round tripping canoe is probably a 16' glass or kevlar boat with lines as close to the old Prospector as you can find.
