The MacKenzie Sport 15 offers a stable hull design appreciated by hunters & fishermen. An optional rowing rig allows a solo operator good control and performance without using a motor.

The 37" beam and 15" center depth provides over 1000 lbs of capacity with 7" of freeboard. Its efficient hull design provides excellent performance with a 2 to 3 HP outboard. Trials conducted with a 3HP outboard showed that with one operator positioned on the middle seat, the 15 Mac Sport reached speeds in excess of 10 mph. Motor, row or paddle it.

Bow Height: 22"

Stern Height: 16"

Center Height:15"

Standard Features: Bench seats, portage yoke, flotation tanks, bow & stern thwarts

These canoes are built with a squared off stern to accommodate a small electric or gas motor up to the equivalent of 3 hp max. These canoes are designed to take a load. The best choice for those canoeists who prefer to 'troll' along the majority of the time.
