Mad River Explorer

The Mad River Explorer is no longer available in Fiberglass or the Kevlar Lightweight layup. We have a few left and think these are super boats. Both models feature symmetrical hulls, slight rocker and a shallow V. Features include ash gunwales, canoe seat

The fiberglass canoe is laid up by hand with fiberglass material and reinforced in the ends with Kevlar. Fiberglass offers a high performance hull at an affordable price that is ideal for lake and river paddling.

The Kevlar lightweight features a layer of Core-Cell foam in the bottom of the boat which reduces the weight by up to 20% over a full kevlar layup. The coloration of this boat goes all the way through the hull so it hides scratches better than other materials. Advantages are a very stiff but lightweight hull.
