H2O Canoe Company Pathfinder 16 Canoe Review
The H2O Canoe Company Pathfinder 16 is one of the most stable and predictable canoes within their heritage series that also includes the Canadian 16/6 and Bob Special 15.
Its slightly wider 36" width combines with a very flat-bottomed hull and deep keel to create an exceptionally straight tracking, well-mannered canoe.
Parents with small children or pets appreciate the Pathfinder 16's roominess and enormous stability. Entry level, infrequent and casual paddlers are inspired by its secure, no surprises nature.
Photographers, fisherman, hunters and those that require stability are also attracted by its gentle, steady performance. The Pathfinder's ability to handle large loads and predictability have quickly made it a personal favourite by recreational canoeists.
"The H2O Canoe Company Pathfinder 16 is an affordable, user-friendly, predictable, quality built canoe made right here in Ontario!"
