For moving silently up remote quiet creeks and rivers to picnic amongst the Willows and enjoy country side not seen by many, we have designed this attractive electric canoe.

Construction uses the strip plank process using computer faired mould shapes and she is powered by a Mini Kota type electric outboard.

LOA 18'6" (5.64m); Beam 39" (0.99m); Weight 250 lbs (115 kg) with batteries.

She can take 3 or 4 adults. She could be fitted with a canopy or with steam power.
