The MacKenzie Sport 18' is about size, capacity and versatility. The MacKenzie Sport 18' works great with an outboard motor in the 3 to 5HP range.

Adding a third and fourth bench seat can increase seating to four or six. Load it up with 1500 lbs of gear and you will have 7-3/4” of freeboard. Motor, row or paddle it.
