mohawk intrepid

Post by nathan richard » Wed Dec 22, 2010 10:59 pm

my brother is going to get a new canoe, and i suggested a 16' mohawk intrepid. we like class II+ creeks and also enjoy overnight trips on calmer streams.
I'd like to hear any feedback anyone has about this boat.
thanks

I don't know anything about the boat, but I do know that Dave Thomas can talk to you about your favorite rivers, and possibly suggest some tweaks (like thwart length.) One of the great advantages of buying Mohawk here in Arkansas is the bespoke boat! :)

Ask Pam aka Mohawk Lady. Think she has one. At least that's what I think what got loaded on the Suburban a few times.

I have a 17ft intrepid, bought it new back in 93 and still have it. It is a great boat for overnighters and class II and III's When I bought mine my boys were 8 and 10 and we never even came close to tipping it. A very stable boatand great for camping, I probably have close to 2000 miles on it camping and floating. Now I get to enjoy it with my 3 yr grandson and look forward to putting many more miles on it.

The Intrepid model is our ‘most versatile’ model. It serves as an effective overnight tripper, as well as being a great boat for recreational day floats. The Intrepid 17 has a, conservatively figured, capacity of 1080 pounds. That will allow for both you, and your brother to pack plenty of gear for extended trips. In addition, the ends of the Intrepid are slightly flared to increase its performance in whitewater. I have Intrepid 16 and 17’s in stock at the Mohawk Canoe Co. - Fort Smith Shop if you are interested. I even have slightly blemished hulls in both sizes which are available at reduced prices. Also, all current ACC members will receive an additional discount to boot.
