Esquif - Cargo 17
Esquif - Cargo 17
When the destination is remote and the load is heavy, you need a canoe that doesn't make you choose between capacity and control. At 1,000 lbs of carrying capacity in a 95 lb hull, the Cargo 17 is built around that balance.
The square stern and 3" of rocker give this canoe a character that's hard to find in a boat this size. It handles an outboard up to 3 HP for covering big water efficiently, but it's equally at home under paddle when you're working through shallower or tighter sections. The 44-inch beam keeps it stable when loaded down with gear, without making it a chore to manoeuvre.
T-Formex construction means this canoe is ready for the kind of hard use that comes with serious wilderness tripping, hunting, and fishing. It's tough, low-maintenance, and built in Quebec to last well beyond a single season. Vinyl gunwales come standard with wood trim available as an option, and the Camo and Green colour options keep things practical in the field.
