There is no mistaking the classic look and lines of Mad River's Duck Hunter canoes. The olive drab hull, shaped cane seats, and stained and slotted wood gunwales hearken back to a simpler, yet more elegant era. Paddle it solo or tandem with assurance in the promise and delivery of the long-term durability, care-free maintenance, and sound-deadening foam core construction associated with a Royalex® by Spartech hull.
The Duck Hunter 15 has all the easy-handling capabilities of the original Explorer 15 in constricted waters and is better suited for mixed use as a compact tandem or spacious solo canoe than the Duck Hunter 16. With more than enough capacity for a set of waterfowl decoys or a full day's catch, it is ideal for sportsmen navigating the twisty coastal waters or for any paddler who appreciates its timeless design.

Royalex® by Spartech® is a vacuum-formed sheet laminate consisting of external vinyl layers enclosing multiple ABS plastic layers and a foam core. Each sheet is designed specifically for the intended use of that canoe. All combinations are durable and moderately light-weight. It is resistant to impact, yet has "memory" that allows it to absorb impact and return to original form. Royalex® by Spartech® is repairable should the worst-case scenario ever occur.
