Hi folks, just wondering if anyone has any experience with a Rheaume Muskoka? I have one on layaway at Oak Orchard Canoe and hope to pick it up soon. Paddled one on the little test pond with my spouse of 52 years and we both were quite taken with it. It is an asymmetrical 16 footer and seems...

My Rheaume Muskoka with its kneeling thwart is a joy to paddle solo. It has an asymmetrical hull and I only partially heel it when paddling solo but it moves quite well on flatwater whether calm or choppy. Am thinking that a Swift Keewaydin may be similar but am very happy with my Rheaume.

...As I'm getting a bit older I'd like to lower the weight and treat myself with something new. I've narrowed my search to: -Nova craft Bobs special -esquif huron 15 -esquif echo (14 feet) -rhéaume twister (13 feet) -nova craft prospector 15 Any feedback and suggestions would be greatly...

Great selection of canoes to try out at this year's Rendezvous! I lost count on how many I took out for a spin. It was nice to revisit with everyone, meet other enthusiastic canoeists, and chat with some of the forum members that I hadn't met before. It was encouraging to see younger canoeists...

Rhéaume Canoes of Quebec makes cedar-canvas and, more recently, composite canoes. Historically, the company made most of its canoes for other brand labels such as Old Town, L.L.Bean, Eddie Bauer and American Trader. Now, they sell more of their canoes direct to the public under their own brand...

Any Rheaumes there? Their fit and finish has always looked good to me as well.

There are a few posts on the site about Rhéaume and a boat maker but nothing specific about the Muskoka model. https://www.canoetripping.net/search/310874/?q=Rh%C3%A9aume&o=relevance From the posts I read they have a reputation for quality boats at relatively low prices for low weight boats...

If I recall correctly, Rhéaume bought out the leftovers of Mid-Canada Fibreglass (Scott, Bluewater, Impex Kayaks) plus private label work for various brands and that is how they got into the composite market. Prior to that acquisition they were strictly a niche w/c builder.

I've test paddled and really enjoyed the Rheaume Reble, the Swift Cruiser series, and a Curtis nomad but just haven't found quite the right boat at the right price for what I can afford at the moment. If anyone is selling or has any hot leads, please let me know. I'm based in Rochester but...

These are common from many different manufacturers. I've never analyzed the physics involved but they show up regularly. I don't know about the other labels but Rhéaume only made the Koru and Stillwater models for Old Town from April of 2011 thru October of 2012. Benson

Try a WildFIRE - hands down the most "fun to paddle" canoe ever IMHO! Much more maneuverable than any you mentioned, ideally paddled kneeling, great for a combo lake and river tripping, creekin', and joy paddling. The design was originally built by Bell but the mold was moved to NY and built by...

I just stopped by there the other day! Great shop with lots of boats! I’d driven by it a bunch but never had the time. Most are out of my league $ wise… but they did say they have an Esquif Echo in their demo fleet. I had the kid with me so I’ll need to go back. It’s a very tempting boat. The...

...were full of great stuff. Seth Gibson (from Keewaydin Dunmore) contributed paddles and moccasins and a few other handmade goods that he had brought back from the north over the years, for example. Becky and Reid: @KeithA and Michael from White Rose paddling one of those pretty Rhéaume boats:

Welcome to site membership, Valin6210! Which length Rheaume Prospecteur and which material, wood or composite?

Did you get the Rheaume from Oak Orchard in Waterport? I see they started carrying them last year. Can I ask what led you to choose the Rheaume ?

Yes, I did. Several reasons. After checking with the other stores (Regis in Saranac Lake, Bay Creek in Webster, etc) they seemed to be the only store with much inventory. The Rheaumes seem to have the best weight to cost ratio as well. I talked to Hemlock Canoes and their boat would have...

Had planned to pick her up last week then covid happened so had to postpone. This is the Rheaume Prospector 17 in kevlar on my ladder rack trailer system. Yes, normally there is a stern rope, had just taken it off when I remembered I should get a pic.

I will have to get out to Waterport and check them out then. I had a cedar rib and plank Rheaume solo a few years ago that I was quite pleased with, I can only assume their composite boats share the same quality.

Welcome from PA. I get up to ADK’s fairly often, its about 8 hours to get to Cranberry Lake. I’ve never seen one of those canoes in real life, but it looks nice. I have a couple prospectors myself. I do have one of the Rheaume 5’ coffee tables in my manhut. Cheers, Barry
