Mad River

Mad River Quest canoe made with Royalex. It is much lighter than polyethylene canoes. A very quality canoe. I measured it to be 175” long, 36” across its widest point, and 13.5” deep. It has seen its share of white water and it shows. The canoe has dents on the gunwale and the hull as seen in pictures. We still use it for our local lake and it still seaworthy for that purpose. It has knee pads positioned for both solo and tandem canoeing. Here is the description from the Mad River site (this canoe has been discontinued): This comfortable canoe has a contemporary, asymmetrical hull shape that is increasingly flared for added seaworthiness The V entry, designed for easy tracking gives way to a shallow arch bottom providing performance you would not expect in a recreational canoe. For maximum weight savings, the Quest can he equipped with our aluminum gunwale system. The Quest has a Lightweight hull, is a small, performance oriented canoe. Weighing far less than polyethylene canoes, the Mad River Quest paddles easily and glides quickly on ponds, lakes and smooth-flowing rivers. Children and adults will feel secure on casual outings around the summer cottage or on weekend camping trips. The highly maneuverable Quest can be easily paddled solo by installing a center cane seat or kneeling thwart.
