The compact Triple Tough Explorer 14 canoe offers great stability in rough conditions, tracks well and handles well even when loaded with gear.

  • Durable, carefree Triple Tough polyethylene construction easily handles the stresses of family life
  • Advanced molding techniques put more material in high-impact areas and less in low-impact areas, resulting in a lighter and stiffer hull
  • With the same lines as the classic Explorer, this shorter version is easy to manage and makes a great first canoe
  • 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
  • Designed for family fun day trips as well as weekend trips
  • Features ash-framed webbed seats with truss for added rigidity; sculpted ash portage yoke for a comfortable carrying alternative
  • Full length aluminum inserts in vinyl gunwales for added torsional rigidity
  • 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 14 TT Canoe:

Have used my 14TT on multiple river trips & many lake trips. Tracks well for short size in lakes with two paddlers. Does well on river trips solo. Carries lots of gear for multi days solo. Tracks easy in flat water. Responsive in mild whitewater Class 3 and under. Make sure your weight is distributed well for river running - really effects handling. Takes on water in whoop dee doos. I use a bow cover for front - really makes a difference. Boat is a lttle heavy for size but duarable and a great value. My kids are getting old enough to river trip so I'll be buying another one.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Mad River Explorer 14 TT Canoe:

    I don't think I have any complaints other than lateral stability. I bought it for fishing on large ponds/small lakes and as long as you don't shift your weight around too much, it rides nicely. I am not sure if this is the "perfect" hull shape for this activity, but it certainly does provide access to a great many areas that are not otherwise accessible. I am looking forward to putting in on some moving water to see how she handles.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
