PROBE 11  
 



Length 11’8”, Beam @ gunwale 28”, Beam @ 4” waterline 27.75”, Approx weight 45lbs, Rocker 4.5”

The Mohawk Probe 11 is our shortest version of the Probe series.  It has all of the characteristics of the longer Probes, like lots of flare in the sides for great secondary stability, rounded chines for easy side surfing, PLUS high volume ends. Smaller paddlers like the Mohawk Probe 11's light-weight.  While larger paddlers will find the Mohawk Probe 11 takes more skill to paddle, but they like the Mohawk Probe 11's added responsiveness, small-size and added challenge. 

The Mohawk Probe 11 -  Right ON the Edge!!

PROBE 12 (Formerly the Mohawk Probe 12II)
 



Length 12’2”, Beam @ gunwale 27.5”, Beam @ 4” waterline 27.75”, Approx weight 48lbs, Rocker 4.75”

Formerly the Probe 12II, the Mohawk Probe 12 shares all of the features of the Mohawk Probe 13, but in a more performance-oriented package. The Mohawk Probe 12 is 6" shorter overall and narrower at the 4" waterline and an inch narrower at the gunwale. Some stability is sacrificed with the Mohawk Probe 12 compared to the Mohawk Probe 13, but the increase in performance is noticeable, The Mohawk Probe 12 still has great secondary stability, due to the flared center-section. 

The Mohawk Probe 12 -  Just Six inches From the Edge!!

PROBE 13 (Formerly the Mohawk Probe 12)
 


Length 12’8”, Beam @ gunwale 28.5”, Beam @ 4” waterline 28”, Approx weight 49lbs, Rocker 5"

Of the three solo Mohawk Probes, the Mohawk Probe 13 is the most popular. The Mohawk 13 is the boat that most entry level paddlers can start out with, and never grow out of.  The Mohawk Probe 13's 28" beam at the 4" waterline makes it quick to accelerate off the line. The flair at the center section gives the Mohawk Probe 13, a tremendous amount of secondary stability that loyal, Mohawk Probe paddlers love. The Mohawk Probe 13,  like other Mohawk Probes,  has a symmetrical rocker. This feature makes ferrying, eddy turns and peel outs in the Mohawk Probe 13 very predictable. Combine the symmetrical rocker with the flared sides, and the Mohawk Probe 13 provides confidence while leaning the canoe.

The Mohawk Probe 13 - Often Imitated -- NEVER Duplicated!!

PROBE 14  
 



Length 14’, Beam @ gunwale 31”, Beam @ 4” waterline 29”, Approx weight 59lbs, Rocker 6”

Mohawk's  tandem/solo playboat has all of the hot performance features of the Mohawk Probe 13 in a larger boat. The Mohawk 14 is THE canoe for those tandem paddlers looking for extra performance. The Mohawk Probe 14 can be factory-outfitted in a three-position, two-position or solo configuration. The Mohawk Probe 14 is an excellent choice for larger paddlers, or those who prefer a longer canoe. As a solo boat, the Mohawk Probe 14 is so quick and easy to spin, you would think you're in a much shorter boat.

The Mohawk Probe 14 - large enough to paddle tandem but MADE to go out and Play!

VIPER 11  
 



Length 11’6”, Beam @ gunwale 27”, Beam @ 4” waterline 27.25”, Approx weight 45lbs, Rocker 4.5”

Though less stable than the Mohawk Viper 12 due to its shorter length, the Mohawk Viper 11 is a little less edgy. The Mohawk Viper 11 canoe has a reputation for being an upper-intermediate to expert-only type canoe.  The Mohawk Viper 11 has won and placed in many whitewater Rodeos. The Mohawk Viper 11's light weight, speed and maneuverability make it a popular steep creek boat.

VIPER 12  
 



Length 12’6”, Beam @ gunwale 27.5”, Beam @ 4” waterline 27.5”, Approx weight 49lbs, Rocker 5”

The Mohawk Viper 12 has excellent primary stability, and good secondary stability. However, the Mohawk Viper 12's edge (a sharper, less curve to the chine) can catch cross currents and eddies, and flip the paddler who has not mastered the edge. The Mohawk Viper 12 is a favorite of many paddlers that compete in the Royalex slalom race class. Its popularity, and many wins is a testimonial to the Mohawk Viper 12's  precise handling. Few canoes besides the Mohawk Viper 12 have such a distinct edge. Since the Mohawk Viper 12's paddling characteristics are so different, our advice is to paddle a boat with an edge before you buy.

The Mohawk Viper 12 -   Precise & on the Cutting Edge.

SHAMAN


Length Overall 12'7", Beam @ Gunwale 26"5', Beam @ 4" Waterline 26" Beam Max 28.5",
Bow Height 21.5", Stern Height 21", Rocker Bow 4.5", Rocker Stern 5", Depth @ Center 15.5"

Introducing the Mohawk SHAMAN 12 in Royalex . The Mohawk Shaman is a 12'7" whitewater solo playboat that successfully combines slalom-like maneuverability with outstanding forward speed and glide. A blend of subtle design features distinguish the Mohawk SHAMAN 12 from other boats in its class.

The Mohawk SHAMAN is the canoe that gives the technical playboater an advantage in making aggressive attainments and linking challenging moves. The Mohawk SHAMAN is quick to turn without any overspin, and accelerates easily on demand. Directional stability is excellent. The Mohawk Shaman possesses a smooth, predictable personality that minimizes defensive braces. Mohawk Shaman's  asymmetrical rocker and waterline with dynamic trim sensitivity lets you fine tune the canoe's reaction to currents and paddle strokes. Stern leans release the bow to maximize the spin characteristics in the Mohawk Shaman. Gentle knee pressure can initiate carved turns or set the hull to block waves.

In the Mohawk Shaman generous flare from bow to stern provides remarkable final stability which   appeals to whitewater paddlers of all skill levels. Cruisers like the Mohawk SHAMAN'S responsive, yet forgiving feel. The slender hull width is comfortable to paddle and promotes good stroke mechanics. We believe you'll appreciate the great styling too.

The Mohawk SHAMAN 12 allows you the freedom to paddle precisely, and with confidence and finesse. The Mohawk SHAMAN is a superb choice for open boaters who want to develop and exercise efficient technique. The Mohawk SHAMAN excels in catching those elusive surfing waves. Paddlers also comment on how easy the Mohawk SHAMAN is to roll. 

Harold Deal is known for his adeptness in several canoe disciplines. His focus on precise boat control has led to many first place finishes at the Whitewater Open Canoe Nationals in the slalom events and in the Combined Slalom / Downriver Class. The Shaman's Concepts and shape developed from years of experience in the sport, and the designer's commitment to build a predictable playboat with the optimum overall performance  that has made it successful in placing at the top of its class.
