Relative to...

Slow to the other OC1's which was my experience to that time. It worked really well on creeks but sucked on gravel bedded rivers which could be wider. I paddle in British Columbia in Viper 11's or Esquif Detonator, as blended choice of speed or agility. Had a lot of fun in the Quake, though looking ...

Tandem starter mistakes

I started out tandem with my wife in the bow and missed all the fun and.. the fear (if you like that stuff). I didn't realize what a different world it is in the bow in big water, very, very spooky, especially when the leverage gets going on 16' boat thru the haystacks. I blew her mind so severely t...

Quake

I paddled one 3 years. Very stable. Rolls really easy. Considered having one just to teach rolling & rolls dry, dryest roller of all the boats I have paddled. Surfs well, spins on a dime, slides around well in a hole and has very "loose edges" making hole exits easy. Very limited moves, too much bou...

Off side high brace

I agree with offside high brace, keep it close, but drive deep down thru the foam pile into the green beneath. I was shown that move by a C-1er too early in my career after he watched my window shading. I soon got a roll but forgot the move till later a playboat instructor reintroduced it along with...

You are right

You are right, I am wrong. My curiosity lead me to post a question and to email Mohawk in the same afternoon session. After purchasing 4 of Mohawks products, 3 of them of the same hull design, I have made an mistake and the majority of replies support your opinion. I apologize to you and to Mohawk. ...

Original: Broken Mohawk Viper 11 gunwales

I have sent an email into Mohawk with accompanying photos asking that they ship me gunwales at their expense and I will put them on at my time and expense. I'll let you know how that goes. I rechecked the thickness of the gunwales before starting temporary patch up and they are definitely thin and f...

Viper Gunwale cracks!

Has any one had a problem with their new Mohawk gunwales cracking/shattering? I have a 2 year old Viper 11 royalex, new from the factory, and the gunwales have cracked in 4 places. At first one crack didn't bother me as it is an aggressive boat and I am an aggressive paddler but as 3 more showed up ...
