Newest Addition to our Family

This morning my daughter and I drove to Gravenhurst to pick up the newest addition to our camping equipment. It is a 15.8ft Mattawa carbon fibre canoe. Weighing in at only 33lbs it is considered an ultra light weight. The way the light weight is achieved is primarily in its construction and the use of carbon fibre and Kevlar fusion to make a one piece canoe with an integrated gunnel system. We are very happy to finally have a canoe of our own. It will come in very handy this fall as we plan an extended stay in Algonquin park this fall and hopefully we will be able to sneak up on a moose or two

  1. Impressive! What about an electric motor to troll for those Lake Trout or are motors not allowed in that part of Algonquin. Do enjoy the adventure, looks awesome to me!

    Did you have skid plates put on. Any comments on this item. We don't have them on our canoe.
