After many years of suggestions from the outdoors sports community we have designed our multi-purpose Hunting and Duck Canoe with many unique features. It is the ultimate shallow water canoe for the serious waterfowl hunter, trapper, bowfisher, or gigging enthusiast. Its extremely low profile also makes it an excellent sneak boat. The canoe is extremely stable with a very shallow draft and large weight capacity. In testing, the canoe will float in 3 inches of water with 2 men and their gear, and the smooth rounded bottom contour allows it to be pulled through weeds and mud very easily. At the 1000 lbs. rated capacity the waterline is approximately halfway up the side. A large man can comfortably stand on the corner without danger of tipping. The roomy cockpit opening 45" x 96" easily accommodates several hunters and their gear. The cowling has 1" sockets at each corner for mounting our custom duckblind, or the blind can be screwed directly to the cowling or top. Two mud poles holes allow the canoe to be secured to the bottom making a very stable shooting platform. We have conveniently placed 3 handles on the canoe for lifting or pulling and ten rope eyes for securing gear or blind. The seat has been designed to move front to rear or can be taken out for additional room. Extra seats can be purchased if desired. The optional fold-out dog ramp allows the dog to board repeatedly without injury and then drip off on to the deck area before entering the canoe. For those that want a floor, we have designed the ribs with enough height to screw into making the canoe very easy to floor. We have also included a drain plug as a standard feature for outside storage. A trailer is available as an option or the canoe will fit in a standard pick-up bed. Finally, our canoe is very maneuverable, easy to paddle, pole or row with our optional oar and oarlock combination. Oar storage is standard on all our canoes. |
