Crawdad 12x33

Crawdad 12-33

Crawdads (also known Crawfish, Crayfish, and Freshwater Lobsters) are the irresistible food for many birds, fish and humans!

Inspired by the Gheenoe and River Hawk brand boats, our Crawdad is designed to be a small but stable fishing canoe.

Specifications

Stability and easy paddling were the primary design attributes. While not as fast as a double-end canoe of similar size, the Crawdad will move well through the water and can accommodate a trolling motor.
