When the stems of your canoe show wear from scraping over shoals and shallows, extend its life by applying Kevlar skid plates. If a Royalex canoe, with a vinyl-ABS-foam hull, it's time for skids plates when the lighter colored ABS material, or foam core, shows. If a Kevlar, fiberglass or high-tech composite hull, exposed fabric on the bow or stern means it's time.
Canoe shape, condition and hull material vary from canoe to canoe. So why settle for a one size fits all solution for canoe skid plates when they are needed?
For most other tandem canoes and some wider-nosed Royalex solo's, use our Tandem/Universal Skid Plate Kit. This is our most popular Skid Plate Kit which offers a 38 inch x 5 inch wide felt. here

It's make of Royal Ex so it can take a beating. It's a bit heavy and awkward to load onto a canoe rack on your car but with two fairly strong people its not a big issue. I like how it responds in the crazy currents. I like how stable it feels especially when carrying a lot of gear. more
Mad River has done an excellent job of reproducing this LEGENDary design that Dagger had so much success with. I recommend this boat and if it wears out within the next 100 years, I will be buying another one; but I am sure it will outlast me. [links]
