The Skylark is the the perfect small rowing craft. Comfortably sized to fit up to three adults, this beautiful boat has a unique triple-keel design that helps it track superbly. The Skylark comes with two sets of brass oar sockets, one pair spruce spoon blade oars and a set of pinned oar locks (leathers are an option); cherry trim, seats, and wide, fan-shaped stern backrest that looks and feels fantastic. As versatile as it is beautiful, the Skylark is a hit with sportsmen as well as the recreational rower. And if you prefer not to row, the Skylark’s square stern allows for a max 4HP gas motor (or any size electric trolling motor) to be mounted.
A smooth riding, stable, efficient hull, it needs only a 3 or 4 horsepower outboard to get fishermen or pleasure boaters to where they want to go (the hull will certainly take a larger motor if wanted). Its hull will safely handle a choppy lake or a full load of passengers. Kingfisher is built extra heavy to withstand the extra forces a motor creates.
This tandem canoe has versatility and efficiency. If you're looking for a stable canoe that has good cruising speed, this is the one for you. Designed by using some of the same basic concepts as Savage River's award-winning racing canoes, only wider, assuring good stability and speed while requiring less effort to get where you're going. The higher sides and flared bow make it very seaworthy on a choppy lake or swift flowing river. The Blackhawk is 18' long, and with a 34- 5/8" water line, it has the capacity to haul extra cargo for a day trip or an extended wilderness experience. This canoe also meets the racing specs for most recreational races with a 16% width to length requirement.
Leading pro paddlers use the V1-Pro for its speed and ability to maintain and keep a "pop" in shallow water. Pro boats are usually fully or partially decked with fabric covers to keep water out of the hull. And they often build V1s with special options such as bow bailers for the demanding conditions of pro racing.
For many mixed teams, adult / youth paddlers, and teams of different sizes, the difference between a good canoe and the right canoe is the difference between winning and losing. For these paddlers, it's essential that they can easily trim the canoe so it responds quickly and effortlessly to their paddle strokes. They can't afford to be fighting a canoe that handles poorly. That's why we build the V1-A with a "whale-tail." This allows the stern paddler to be farther back in the canoe, properly trimming and balancing the hull for maximum performance. For paddlers that have a variety of partners, it's possible to rig our mixer to change between a men's and a mixed set-up.
