Clipper Canoe MacKenzie Sport 16.5 Fiberglass

The MacKenzie 16.5 works great with an outboard in the 2 to 3HP range. It’s a natural with an electric motor up to 48 or 60 thrust. For solo use (without a motor) the MacKenzie 16.5 is available with an optional rowing rig.

Load it up with 1300 pounds of gear, and you will have 7 inches of freeboard. The 16.5 Mac Sport weighs just 72 pounds in Kevlar®, allowing you to access spots inaccessible to larger, heavier aluminum car top boats. Motor, row, or paddle it.
