NOVACRAFT CANOE
EAGLE
www.novacraft.com • $2,749-$3,599
The Eagle 17 is the big brother to Nova Craft’s Falcon 16 and shares all of its redeeming qualities.

A shallow-arch bottom gives this quick canoe a steady feel, especially when carrying lots of gear into the interior. If effortless tracking and glide are what you are looking for in a large tripping canoe, the Eagle is a superb choice.
