This item is currently sold out or unavailable online.

For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

The Triple Tough Explorer 16 canoe offers great stability in rough conditions, tracks well and handles well even when loaded with gear.

  • Durable, carefree Triple Tough polyethylene construction will easily handle the stresses of family paddling
  • Advanced molding techniques put more material in the high impact areas and less in the low impact areas, resulting in a lighter and stiffer hull
  • Features nearly identical lines to the classic Royalex edition; although it weighs 7 pounds more, it is easier to maintain
  • Symmetrical, shallow-V hull offers excellent tracking on flat water and stability on moving water and waves
  • High-volume hull with gently rockered ends provides maneuverability in fast currents
  • Versatile design will handle family as well as wilderness journeys
  • Features ash-framed webbed seats with truss for added rigidity, and sculpted ash portage yoke for a comfortable carrying alternative
  • Full length aluminum inserts in vinyl gunwales for added torsional rigidity; molded carry handles at bow and stern decks aid in transport
  • Molded-in graphics can't peel or scratch off like decals can
  • Environmentally friendly manufacturing process--no harmful formaldehyde gas emitted during molding

Made in USA.

Comments about Mad River Explorer 16 TT Canoe:

I paddled a canoe once or twice before buying this one and my wife had never paddled one before. We are doing great with it and I don't have anything bad to say about the boat itself.....good tracking, stability, and versatility. We have taken it mainly on rivers with class I-II rapids. The only issue would be the price tag but luckily I purchased mine [$] off as a "cosmetic seconds" boat that looked brand new to me with only a few scratches.

  • Gift:
  • No

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
