Farewell to Royalex

Some highlights from Mohawk Canoes' final year of Royalex production

[@BaymondRell]

Feeling nostalgic and started pulling down my Dagger canoes to sell one off (Rival) and get the other (Prophet) in shape for paddling in my "late 50's"....always respected Mohawk Canoes and have used their Thigh Retainer Straps in ALL of my Dagger boats. Thought I was a solid paddler back in the day....till I just watched this video! Glad to have been a part of the 90's and early 2000's with the heyday of open WW canoes. To those of you watching this for the first time.....this is an awesome sport (OC-1) and you are watching world class open boaters here that are a tad bit CRAZY!! You can still have years of fun and get started in the sport running challenging rivers a few notches below what you see here so don't let this scare you off just yet!! Awesome video, truly world class skills and talented photography to capture the moments! Thanks for sharing - "WaltfromNC"

Just added another Royalex canoe to my stable of ancient white water canoes. Found a mint Mad River ME in a barn. Am in my late sixtys and dont do the crazy stuff anymore. Gary in NC

For sale x1 canoe. One previous owner, usual signs of light river use. Can now be transported in two pieces for convenience.

Just picked up a wenonah rogue last weekend... cant believe I found a royalex boat. Hopefully T-formex will live up to the hype in the new lineups.
