I was under the impression the canoe was aluminum, but reading the reviews, it gets damage in the warehouse and no heat resistance, what is it made of

It's vinyl.. very comfortable and super stable. Its even easy to stand in. The cushioned seats are a plus! It's also alot quieter than aluminum as well as lighter. Mine came w a minor scratch on it but worth keeping. Seeing as it was due to get scratched from time to time anyway. I also bought featherweight oars w it. And had no complaints. I'm telling ya, I'm a big fisherman and this is the best canoe I've ever been in or had. Only thing is... u need at least 2 ppl or a counterweight in front if u go alone. TherE is always gonna be bad remarks about every product. I live on cape cod ma, and this things awesome. Buy it, u wont regret it. It's by far the best canoe on my pond.

Definitely not aluminum. Some kind of polymer. Aluminum canoes are super rare - nearly all canoes are synthetics.

I'm telling ya, I bought it. It's the best boat on the pond. No complaints. It's quiet, very stable, and easily maintained. Buy it!

The center is aluminum, with a locking detent. The paddles themselves are a type of durable plastic.

Hi Kat - My neighbor has an original & it is aluminum as well. It was never made of iron. Iron would be too slow to heat & cool if it was. I can whip out sandwiches in just a few minutes with my new one just as my mom did. Please note that I have nothing to do with the company other than the fact that I bought a couple of them. I gave one to my sister & Brother-in-law for Christmas with a small box of Velveeta, dragging back old family traditions. Bottom line - Enjoy!

Thank you for your interest in this item. This product is made of corrosion resistant aluminum.

I'm not positive, but I think that you're right. I just dragged it out of the cupboard to look, lol. It appears to be aluminum with a stainless steel handle. It did not cause any discolouration to the pot that it sat in.

Hi, yes it's more of an aluminum. I use my chair all day every day, and bought it about 6 months ago. It has some scuffs on the legs near the wheels. I LOVE this chair.. it's comfortable, light, easy to assemble and rolls easily on my carpeted area. People are always asking about it.. so handy!

I don't know 100%, but it very much seems like aluminum--dissipates heat incredibly well.

I think it is cheap aluminum. Don't waste your money, buy the Oxo one instead.

I believe it is cast aluminum, but it appears to be strong as it sits in a well made cone shaped steel bed in the safe. The walls and bottom of the safe are rolled steel and painted for moderate corrosion resistance.

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

To my knowlegde , its completely steel and I did not see any aluminium. Legs and the small round handle are thin compared to the body. Hope this helps.

It's made of aluminum, very durable! Kinda heavy at first, but you'll get used to it.

Feels like aluminum. If you're worried about durability, I've used this thing heavily over the years I've owned it, with no problems.

The handle is aluminum. There are some other plastic parts, but they are durable. I have used one on my wood floors for a year.

Its made of thick aluminum. One of the best aluminum pots you'll ever find. Do not hesitate to buy it. You'll be happy with it. PROMISE !

I'm not sure. It might be metal or a really sturdy aluminum since it's not that heavy.

It appears to be solid aluminum with a silver powdercoat.I cut the mounting plate with ease to modify it for a sounder.It's going on the sailboat this spring.
