We own Otter 16 canoe since 2015. This is the perfect boat. Good looking, great combination of technology and handcrafting. It can handle very rough water and heavy load. Fast and stable. Light enough to carry it on the shoulders. Over the years, I called manufacturer few times and always got help I needed. Recently, I had a pleasure to meet creator of this canoe personally. What a great experience! After rough winter storage, I had to do some restoration. I called Mike and after quick diagnostic with photos, I brought my boat to the shop. Two (!) days later I had my canoe fully restored with brand new gunnels and solo seat. Looking like new again. Mike spent extra time to show how to take care of the boat. Perfect canoe, great experience.

We are enjoying Ranger Canoe since 2015. Good combination of high tech kevlar and handcrafted wood gunnels. Fast and stable. Can handle any load and weather. Light enough to be carried solo on shoulders. Over the years I was calling to manufacturer with various questions and always got help. Few weeks ago I had an opportunity to meet builder in person. What a great Experience it was! After bad winter storage mistake, canoe needed some restoration. I called Michael and after quick troubleshooting with photos, I brought it to the shop. In TWO (!) days I had it fully restored, gunnels replaced and solo seat installed. Looking like a brand new again. Michael spent extra time to demonstrate how to take care of the canoe and answered all my questions. FIVE STAR Boat and Service! Thank you
