It's pretty much my play thing. At 13 feet long it doesn't track as well as my 15.6 Mad River. I think it is only rated at 300 pounds, so I being at 215 pounds I consume most of the weight capacity. It's 29 inches wide, weighs 41 pounds and is made of Royalite (R84). I think the material is exclusively made for Mohawk. It is a little lighter than Royalex which they did offer at the time. It was a little over 800 dollars. My wife and I took a day trip and drove to chattanooga tn to get it. Chattanooga is a good 3 hour drive, one way.
I have no regrets purchasing it. Small rivers and streams it is great on. Once I met up with a canoe and kayak club for an afternoon trip. I met up with them in chattanooga and had a dinner at a park. Everyone unloaded their boats, and then we shuttled vehicles down to our take out point. Most people had kayaks, and the majority of those were the longer sea yaks. The only canoes there was my little ole mohawk and an older couple with a 16 foot mad river. Well I figured this, older couple, with the Mad river just enjoyed the quiet flat water of lakes, yeh was I wrong. While I was coveting their fine looking sleek and longer canoe, I noticed they had the pack tie down anchors glued in, and also a tie down right in the center of the floor beneath the front of both seats. So I asked the lady and her husband about the anchors below the seats. They just looked at each other grinned and replied, well when we hit rough rapids we strap our selves in so we don't get thrown out. Wow.... what a way to spend quality time with each other. They showed me the scars on the bottom of their Royalex canoe, and recounted some of the trips that caused the gouges cut into the hull. I was in awe of this couple they were definitely hard core and I felt like the inexperienced pup that I was.
The little Mohawk is pretty durable, but I take the larger canoe for camping trips. The longer water crafts out paced me in that little Mohawk. I am amazed at how fast those long sea kayaks can move.
