Submitted: 05-15-2006 by MN 14 foot tt explorer..don't know what to say...bought a new explorer about 8 weeks ago, handled really well in our estuary conditions, and i was delighted with it, until, last week with two adults, the bottom literally collapsed upwards about 4"!! I took it back to our excellent dealer who immediately replaced it with a supposedly identical canoe, the point being that the hull on the new one is an entirely diferent shape!! The original was a fairly flat V, this one is round like a barrel, Have got the hang of it now and am enjoying it, but what does it say about mad river's quality control? |
