Dugout, e.g (5)

I believe the answer is:

canoe

(Other definitions for canoe that I've seen before include "Boat (that can be dug out!)" , "Kayak-like boat" , "Hunting vessel originating in Haiti" , "Light, narrow open boat" , "Light boat propelled with paddle" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
