An Old Town made Penobscot 16 decaled "LLBean", has wooden gunnels and cane seats.

It's still supple, but it is faded badly. I thought we'd be paddling in circles the rest of the trip, but the Penobscot did good. I have taken 'newbies' down class II rivers in it, but I don't recommend it.

It has a narrow entry and is light for a Royalex boat - making it easy to paddle and to portage. Submitted by: The boat is as fast as a Mad River Malecite; it oil cans less than a Wenonah Adirondack; it works GREAT with a kid when paddled backwards from the bow seat; paddled solo, it outruns an Old Town Pathfinder with two paddlers... all of these are experimental results. Maybe I will get to tow an 8 year old behind me.

We even found our lost water bottle. A great quiet boat compared to aluminum and lighter too.

I have a 7 yr old and this boat allows us to paddle it effortlessly up and down slow rivers and accross windy lakes. Submitted by: I prefer to paddle it solo or with 2 adults and a light load. No wonder they've been making them for 30 years. Biggest drawback was I had no control until I got up a little forward momentum, which may have to due with the weight of all the gear I had.

If that matters to you, go with a boat that has a harder finish. I bought my Penobscot 16 in 1995 from Red Rock Outfitters in Ely, Minnesota (great people by the way) it was a year old and looked brand new.

I look forward to many years of comfortable paddling and fishing from this canoe.

I kneel using the bow seat for brace when with my dog and using the kneeling thwart when alone. It has been amazing. I do not like to paddle it solo and have bought a solo boat. I also put this canoe on the lake, both tandem and solo. If you have special usage such as whitewater or high volume you should look at a different design. I've owned and paddled this boat, tandem and solo, in all types of water. Old Town hit a 'home run' when they designed this great all around boat. I've had my 16 since 1993 and have put it into a a few different spots. Submitted by:

Expect to last till I'm gone.

I have only taken it on slow moving rivers and lakes. It is pretty fast for a rubber boat and I am pleased with it. Well as unconfortable as the Penobscot looked in that position,it didn't want to budge. Nobody around to give you a hand should you need it. Submitted by: $900 MSRP discontinued (1) Mad River Outrage X Whitewater discontinued (2) Old Town Tripper 172 Tripping/Expedition $1590 MSRP discontinued. Reasonably fast on the lakes, reasonably light on the portages, sufficient volume for tripping solo or tandem.

We were both amazed at the super positive experience we were having in this light weight, straight tracking canoe. Submitted by: It will hold quite a bit of cargo.

The Penobscot just rode up and over wakes 2-3 high no problem (although with some white knuckles!)

It's more maneuverable solo, especially in a river current. This means it holds a bit less gear for touring than the longer ones.

I have used this boat on a number of trips. We launched from the beach and set a leisurely course out into a slight breeze. If you plan to abuse this boat at all, I recommend getting skid plates for the bow and stern. Submitted by:

Carry a lot of gear and paddle well. Named the "B-Attitude" after Bea and Barb of Wilderness Paddlers up in Ely, Minnesota, we bought her as a "blem" from the factory on the way back to Michigan from Ely. Submitted by: Love the wall height, rocker 2" great, all around great canoe!!!!! It's not going to win any races, and it certainly won't portage well, but you'd be hard-pressed to find another canoe that will tolerate as much abuse as this one. The Penobscot does alot of things, but nothing real well. The Penobscot 16 has a straight keel and fine ends (for a Royalex canoe). Seemed like a good boat for some of the northern trips I like to do. This balanced the boat out a little more & it seemed to handle really well like this. That canoe and tent were my home for 4 months. We have also run thru Class I rock gardens in low water with no damage. This is not just against rocks, but sand, stumps and any other obstruction you will find in the water.

That way, we got the sliding bow seat, which I highly recommend.

Submitted by: I paddle mainly on the Hiwassee River, Nantahala… It isn't going to be mistaken for a racing boat, but it has fine entry and for a recreational, royalex boat it has decent speed. Then was able to approach one end of the canoe from river left, and retrieve a 60 foot piece of rope that I keep for just such a thing, but had never needed for this purpose before.

As a shorter 16 ft tandem, I think this boat would be ideal for one adult paddling with a child on day trips or over-niters of a few nites or even a week. Submitted by:

Submitted by: Submitted by: The only marks added were a few light surface scratches that will disappear with an application of 303 Protectant. I store my Penobscot in a storage shed to keep it out of direct sunlight. It's built for tandem, but a child or a dog can ride along in the middle, too. I also used this canoe to paddle the Mississippi River from Bemidji, MN to the Gulf of Mexico.

My wife and I were looking… This brings me and all my weight closer to the center of the boat. I have two (2001 and 2008); don't worry about submerged log or rock - Royalex can take it. After about 6 months or looking and searching, I finally bought a Pnobscot 16. Some of the rivers we paddle get strong,sustained crosswinds(25-30mph)so all of the boats were affected. What finally prompted the decision was a sale at REI and realizing that the Royalex was no longer in production. It's an extremely capable fun to paddle canoe if you keep it out of whitewater it wasn't intended for. We pass them ashore on rough water because they are taking water in over…

We were able to stomp the hull while pulling up on the gunwales until it started resembling a canoe again, although still badly twisted. That being said, it is quite easy to move around rocks.
