Back in the day (every winter) We tied a royalex behind a snowmobile and go flying around the lake in the winter.

I always wondered what it would be like to bomb down a huge hill in a canoe.

I imagine the keel on an aluminum would be nice to help track better.

Yup. With a fresh coating of Clark Griswold's non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant.
