Product Details
We pride ourselves in having a wide selection of make and models to choose from at Rutabaga, but that means that we sometimes don't have specific models or colors shown on our sales floor. If you want to come and check out a specific boat on our sales floor, please call or email us in advance to set up a viewing appointment. If we don't have the exact make and model you're after on the floor, it could take 45 minutes or more to retrieve that specific boat from our warehouses.
The square stern Mallard is short enough to fit into the bed of a truck (12’4”), but spacious enough to hold two sportsman and gear (39” beam). It can be run with either a small electric or gas motor (2.5hp max) or paddled like a traditional double ended canoe. Now you can travel farther back from the launch to access more secret hunting and fishing spots that most boats can not reach or just enjoy a quiet day on the water with friends and pets. Made of T-Formax material the Mallard is lightweight and easily cartopped (59 pounds) and durable enough for many years on the water.

Materials
T-Formex
T-Formex is a high tech ABS plastic laminate, specially designed for products that require structural memory and a resistance to abrasion and impacts. These characteristics make it the best choice for recreational, whitewater and expedition canoes.What does this mean in a practical sense? If you have the misfortune of wrapping your T-Formex canoe around a rock, using a mechanical advantage you will be able to pull the canoe off the rock and aside from a possible broken gunnel or thwart will be able to continue to paddle safely down the river. The abrasion resistance gives you confidence when pulling your boat up on shore or hitting a rock.
Gunwales
Black Vinyl
Black vinyl gunwales are made of an extruded vinyl piece with an aluminum insert to allow it to be fastened to the hull. They're not meant to be super lightweight; it's meant to be strong and to allow it to be used hard.Wood Trim
Ash is a great wood for gunwales. It's straight grained, tough as nails, flexes quite a bit before it breaks. It is warm to the touch and actually makes for a stronger canoe. Ash needs a little care, like penetrating oil finishes or varnish, if you prefer that.Payment & Security
