The Maxim, designed by Maxwell Johnston is the next generation creek boat. With an extremely flat planning hull it is very agile and fast. The chines run from bow to stern making for a very fast easy to paddle boat. With moderate rocker and full length chines this boat is fast, dry and boof friendly. If you are looking for a boat to rip the steeps to pieces this is it. As well as this boat handles the creeks it is just at home on big water. The deep bow and stern keeps this boat dry no matter the type of water that you prefer. The planning hull makes this boat surf and play with the best of them. For what this design lacks in primary stability it more than makes up for in secondary stability.

  
This boat is not for everyone, if you are not looking for a fast dry boat that boofs with ease you may want to skip this one. Let's go creeking!

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

The Mohawk Probe 11 - Right ON the Edge!!

Formerly the Probe 12II, the Mohawk Probe 12 shares all of the features of the Mohawk Probe 13 but in a more performance-oriented form. 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!

Of the three solo Mohawk Probes the Mohawk Probe 13 is our most popular model. It’s the boat that most entry level paddlers can start out with and yet 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 reassuringly predictable. Combine the symmetrical rocker with the flared sides and the Mohawk Probe 13 provides confidence while learning the sport.

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

Mohawk's tandem playboat has all of the hot performance features of smaller Probes in a larger boat. The Probe 14 is the canoe for tandem paddlers looking for extra performance. The 14 can be factory-outfitted in a three-position or solo configuration. It’s a great boat for beginners and larger paddlers.

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

The work horse of the Viper series this boat has softer edges than its big brother the Viper 12 but makes up for it with shorter length and more rocker. It is vey dry and fast and loves white water from the little creeks to the big water.  The only thing that could hold you back is your ability.   Get your gear and head to the nearest river to enjoy the full benefits of this boat. Easy rolling and quick response is what you will find in the 11.  With great primary stability and very good second stability it is the boat to advance your skill.

The Mohawk Viper 11 - Don't wear pants because it will wear the seat out of them!

The Mohawk Viper 12 has excellent primary stability as well as good secondary stability. However, the Mohawk Viper 12's edge (sharper, less curvaceous chine) can catch cross currents and eddies and flip the paddler who has not mastered riding the edge. The Mohawk Viper 12 is a favorite of many paddlers that compete in the Royalex slalom race class. Its popularity - and multiple wins - is a testament 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.

The Mohawk XL 13 canoe is a classic Mohawk canoe. Super stable and forgiving the Mohawk XL-13 is known for being a great beginner’s canoe or a roomy canoe for big paddlers. The XL-13 is used by schools and liveries alike because of the fact it is so user-friendly. The Mohawk XL-13's three inches of rocker make it track better than some of the newer, more heavily-rockered designs. 

The Mohawk XL-13 - Classic Canoeing defined.

The Mohawk XL-14 is a great beginner solo whitewater canoe for large paddlers with gear or a tandem canoe for 2 paddlers. Like the Mohawk XL-13, the XL-14 provides more room to bring gear along for the weekend getaway. You can have the XL-14 canoe outfitted for tandem paddling or expand your options with the three-position outfitting and go tandem or solo. 

The Mohawk XL-14 - Is it Friday yet?

The Mohawk XL-15 tandem whitewater canoe is a favorite of schools and outfitters. Roomy and stable enough for two large paddlers and plenty of gear (you could bring your dog along), heading out for a weekend of exploring the outdoors. With the Mohawk XL-15 there are many available options that you can choose from.  As with any of our playboats you can buy it bare and outfit yourself; with kneeling thwarts, or 2 or 3 position foam saddle. The Mohawk XL-15 canoe is also available with 2 web seats, outfitted with a carrying yoke and thwarts.

Consider this a Probe 10, shorter and narrower but without the hard edge of the Viper. Designed for park and play or creeking but one to keep out of the big water, this playboater's workhorse was created to win the '98 Ocoee Rodeo.
