Want a world-class, all around canoe that can do everything? One that you can paddle tandem or solo? One that is significantly lighter than similar polyethylene canoes? Then this classic Old Town Penobscot 16 RX canoe is for you. It is arguably the finest all-around canoe ever made.
While excellent on flat water, the design and Oltonar/Royalex® hull construction makes it very much at home in fast water. The lightweight Oltonar/Royalex offers excellent strength and toughness. It gives the canoe high impact and abrasion-resistance plus excellent structural memory and resilience. Canoes built from Oltonar /Royalex are no longer being made. Old town stopped making them in 2015.
Thus, classic Royalex canoes are prized and highly sought, especially the high-performance Penobscot 16. As a result, the price of Penobscots keeps steadily going up. The replacement Old Town 164 three-layer polyethylene Penobscot is 17 lbs heavier and 3.5” wider This Royalex Penobscot is the one you want (lighter and narrower means faster). Jump on this superb, extremely highly-rated (almost all 5-star ratings) canoe while you can. Excellent condition with some cosmetic scratches, scuffs and dents.
