  • When paddling solo, simply remove one seat and slide the other to the center; can be fit for tandem use in less than five minutes

  • Fine entry and exit lines deliver increased hull speed over the Royalex® version
  • Highback, suspended seats' height and angle can be easily adjusted, making them more comfortable than average cane seats
  • Modular accessories (sold separately) can be added when needed or desired and removed when type of paddling changes

    Comments about Mad River Explorer Kevlar Expedition IQ Canoe:

    I bought one of these[...]earlier this year and took it to Quetico Provincial Park for ten days. This canoe outperformed the other two that made the trip. I love it.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
