Mad River Canoe Explorer LT 16 Versatile Canoe

Reviews

*Colors:**

Sand	Cobalt

A heritage of craftsmanship meets modern innovation. The iconic Explorer series – the “everyone” canoe – is re-engineered in the LT at a fraction of the weight, while still retaining the design's trademark Royalex® by Spartech® durability, stable handling, and capacity.

Perfect for family outings or tandem paddlers out for a long trip, the remarkable reduction in weight to 65 lbs. makes it easier than ever to manage in and out of the water. And don't be fooled by the lighter duty hull – the LT is a fully capable canoe that shrugs off bumps and grinds in shallow or technical water.

Features:

Web seats
Shaped portage yoke
Polyethylene decks with carry handles(Aluminum Gunwale)
Shaped ash carry handles(Wood Gunwale)

Materials

Royalex® by Spartech®

Royalex® by Spartech® is a vacuum-formed sheet laminate consisting of external vinyl layers enclosing multiple ABS plastic layers and a foam core. Each sheet is designed specifically for the intended use of that canoe. All combinations are durable and moderately light-weight. It is resistant to impact, yet has "memory" that allows it to absorb impact and return to original form. Royalex® by Spartech® is repairable should the worst-case scenario ever occur.

*Colors may vary slightly from those shown. Color combinations will vary from those shown in catalog and are unique for each boat produced. Variations in color are not covered by warranty.
