chub minnow Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I have the 16' explorer and love it. It's not the flat stern, as we tend to do smaller rivers (Kings, Buffalo, Sugar Creek). It is very stable, maneuverable and has proven to be pretty tough on the Mulberry. One of my favorite features is the IQ rail system which allows me to mount a gear bag up, off of the floor as well as my KOOZIE holder!
Gavin Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Mad River makes some nice boats, but are you sure you want a square stern? They are great if your always running a trolling motor, but if your not they are usually alot heavier, and wider than a double ender. Plus most have a keel, which will take a lot of abuse from our stream gravel. Might look into a royalex or crosslink double ender with no keel and buy a trolling motor bracket from Old Town instead. Cheers.
ollie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 If your getting all that and a canoe in excellent shape then I say, "go for it", sounds like a great deal for the canoe alone. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
