H2O - Kruger 16 - Brute Force
Built for paddlers who want a fast, capable canoe that earns its keep on long wilderness trips and handles rough water without complaint, the H2O Kruger 16 Brute Force is a tripping canoe with genuine character.
Inspired by an original Chestnut Canoe Company design, the Kruger 16 carries that heritage into a modern layup. H2O builds this canoe with their signature advanced composite construction, keeping weight down without sacrificing the rigidity you need when you're a week into the backcountry. The hull's rounded bottom makes it surprisingly easy to paddle and quick to turn, which pays off in moving water and wind-driven waves on big Canadian lakes.
This is a hull that comes alive under load. The deeper it sits in the water, the more settled and confident it feels, making it a natural for multi-week tripping expeditions. That said, newer paddlers should be aware that the rounded hull requires some adjustment time on flatwater. Once dialled in, it's a genuinely rewarding canoe to paddle, and handles exceptionally well solo for those who enjoy freeform style paddling.
With an optimum load range of 300 to 600 lbs and a maximum load of 900 lbs, this canoe has the capacity to carry everything you need for extended wilderness travel.
