PRICE MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS
DIY kit $1,800
$2,699 US
Assymetrical hull. The gently rockered profile lets the boat turn easily. A good solo boat but most often used by avid canoe trippers. Fast, responsive, easy to build.
Similar to the popular Morningstar, but a little longer and a little wider. Also available in Royalex and Black Gold.
$3,119
You don’t have to paddle across the country if you own one of these canoes, although some people have. Greater carrying capacity for more kids, dogs and of course more stuff!
1,000 lbs $2,350
Clipper’s most popular model. Deep-dish ash yoke, slid- ing bucket seat and adjustable foot brace are included. Optional wood trim available. Anodized aluminum trim standard.
