do you still have your Bell Magic ? How has it held up ver the years ? Sorry to see Bell canoes not being manufactured any longer………….Jerry ( I have a Bell Magic in Kevlite with alum gun )

I still have a Magic. It’s a great canoe and it’s holding up fine. I need to fix the gelcoat, but overall it’s in good shape.

Yes, it’s sad. I wanted to buy a lighter Northwind. Now, I have three Bell’s: a Magic, a Merlin II, and a Royalex Northwind. Can anyone out there give me some advice about the “next best” brand and model for a tandem, such as the Northwind? Bell canoes were”the best.”

Probably a Wenonah Minnesota II, Blue Water Freedom or Swift Winisk.

I’m not sure. Maybe Pigmy or Chesapeake sell plans for plywood tandems. Not sure.
