Sport Canoes
Tahoe 14
Our highly successful Tahoe 14 offers exceptional initial
stability, solid handling, and a real sense of security, making it ideal
for casual canoeists, and sportsmen. When equipped with our aluminum gunwale
system, this Royalex Lightweight design offers Mad River quality in an
affordable low-maintenance canoe. (Specifications) |
Short, beamy and deep, the Tahoe models feature a traditionally-shaped
shallow arch hull and the characteristic silhouette of a Mad River. Available
with our aluminum gunwale system or with ash trim. |
The roomy Tahoe 16 has a shallow arch hull with slightly
flared sides and is available with ash trim or our lightweight aluminum
gunwale system. |
Tahoe 16
In this family-size version of our popular Tahoe, you'll
find all the best qualities of the 14 footer and more. Length has been
extended to 15'9", but width remains the same. The extra length provides
greater initial stability and better tracking and paddling characteristics
than the shorter Tahoe 14. The Tahoe's large capacity makes it an excellent
craft for carrying kids, pets, and picnic coolers. (Specifications) |
Winooski
Designed for excellent stability and easy handling, the
Winooski is short, stocky, and deep. A combination of initial and secondary
stability makes it a favorite of inexperienced paddlers, and the wide beam
creates an ideal platform for hunting, fishing or photography. Though not
designed for long distance travel, the elegant Winooski is surprisingly
fast for its width, and offers an outstanding sense of security, making
it a perfect companion at a summer cottage. (Specifications) |
For solo fishing, the functional Winooski may be paddled
backwards from the bow seat. Available in three hull constructions, the
Winooski features butternut decks, cane seats, and dark stained woodwork. |
The soft stern contour beneath the waterline enables the
Missisquoi to pivot quickly in tight turns under motor power. Available
in Fiberglass or Kevlar® brand fiber constructions, this canoe features
dark stained wood trim, oak transom plates, three cane seats, and slotted
inwales for easy water drainage. |
Missisquoi
Short, beamy, and deep, the square-stern Missisquoi is
a favorite of waterfowl sportsmen. Its outstanding stability makes it an
ideal platform for hunting, fishing, or trapping. Outfitted with an electric
trolling motor or a 1-2 horsepower outboard, this versatile craft will
easily navigate shallow waters unreachable by conventional motor boats.

| Duck Hunter 16
The Duck Hunter is a dual-purpose 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 shape. The 16 footer uses the popular Explorer hull. (Specifications) |
These rugged, Royalex models feature an Olive Drab color
inside and out, dark stained and oiled gunwales with slotted inwales, stained
portage yoke, and a second thwart for tying in gear. Also available is
a low-maintenance version featuring vinyl gunwales and ash-framed black
web seats. |
The beamy Duck Hunter 17 is offered in two trim versions:
dark stained and oiled ash gunwales with slotted inwales, stained portage
yoke, and second thwart; or low-maintenance vinyl gunwales. |
Duck Hunter 17
When additional load capacity and increased stability
are important, the Duck Hunter 17 is the design of choice. Not simply longer,
but also wider at the gunwales than the Duck Hunter 16, it offers additional
room for dogs, passengers, and gear. The Duck Hunter 17 use our high-volume
Revelation hull, renowned for its stability in adverse conditions. (Specifications) |
Whitewater Playboats
Outrage
The Outrage is an ultra-responsive, 12 foot Royalex whitewater
playboat. The design team of Jim Henry and Tom Foster created a boat with
outstanding overall quickness, one that rolls easily and excels at upstream
maneuvers. A versatile whitewater craft for paddlers weighing 200 lbs.
or less, it delivers outrageous fun running steep creeks and Class III-IV
rivers, surfing waves, and executing rodeo moves. (Specifications) |
With a narrower waterline, more rocker and shorter length,
the Outrage still retains a solid feeling when leaned to the gunwale. Its
narrow waist enables smaller paddlers and women to easily reach over for
cross strokes and catch the smallest eddy. Bow rocker measures 8.75'; stern
rocker, 8.25". |
Based on the Outrage, the hull of the Outrage X offers
outstanding stability for newer whitewater paddlers, even when leaned to
the rails. 6" of bow rocker and 5" or stern rocker allows Outrage X to
turn quickly and catch tiny eddies. |
Outrage X
Larger paddlers and beginners wanting to grow into a
performance playboat love the new Outrage X. Added length and volume make
Outrage X the right choice for paddlers 200 pounds and over who want to
creek, run rivers, or head to the local park-and-play spot. (Specifications) |
Synergy
The Synergy sets a new standard for contemporary tandem
whitewater playboat design. An honest boat that's a hoot to paddle, the
Synergy is maneuverable, fast, and responsive. It carves rather than skids,
holds ferry lines, surfs waves, and feels solid when leaned to the gunwale.
A great choice for tandem paddlers looking for a versatile craft for weekend
playboating, whitewater touring and tripping, and for the solo paddler
seeking a larger volume craft. (Specifications) |
Designers Jim Henry and Tom Foster have given the Synergy,
successor to the venerable ME, an asymmetrical, rounded V hull with 5.25"
of bow and stern rocker, flared ends, and a maximum width of 31". The raindrop
footprint gives the Synergy quick acceleration in upstream maneuvers. |

While
many of our canoes are designed with versatility in mind, the canoes in
our Specialty Series have been designed and built for very specific purposes. 
These
craft do not promise to do everything, but each carries out its particular
mission with absolute precision and efficiency. Within the Specialty Series
are sport canoes for the hunter, fisherman, or nature photographer; and
whitewater playboats for the dedicated whitewater enthusiast.
