Consumer Review of the Adventure 14 Mad River Canoe

The Mad River Adventure 14 Canoe is a 14-foot long entry level canoe designed for family canoeing. With a carry weight of 75 pounds and capacity of 875 pounds, the Adventure 14 model is shorter, wider and trades speed for maneuverability and stability.

Materials

The Adventure 14 is constructed of Royalex superlinear polyethylene. The hull is durable and comes with seats and backrests, cup holders and flat work surfaces molded into the hull.

Hull Shapes

The Adventure 14's multi-chine hull design helps improve the 14's tracking ability. The broad 38-inch beam improves stability. The extended decks, molded into the hull protect from spray and provide a place to stuff gear out of the direct sun.

Durabililty

The hull of the Adventure 14 is oven fired and multi-layered. The hull is very strong and resists damage by rocks, logs in the water or concrete and stone pilings. Virtually no-maintenance, the Adventure 14 provides a solid platform for fishing, hunting and family fun knocking around on slow rivers, lakes and ponds.
