Duck Hunter

The Duck Hunter is a dual purpose Mad River canoe designed for the sports-minded paddler who wants a craft well-suited for waterfowling, fishing, birdwatching, or nature photography, yet versatile enough to serve as a family recreational craft. The ancestry of the Duck Hunter is revealed in its hull shapes, with the 16 footer based on the popular Royalex Explorer, and the 17 footer based on the high-volume Revelation.
