RIVER HAWK BOATS

DESIGN PARAMETERS

When designing a boat, especially a small boat, stability is THE primary goal. Small boats (and canoes), by their very nature and design, tend to be notoriously unstable and unsafe to stand in.

RIVER HAWK boats make use of OUTRIGGER THEORY TECHNOLOGY in their hull designs, providing exceptional stability.

OUTRIGGER THEORY TECHNOLOGY, incorporated into all RIVER HAWK boats, features horizontal flat reverse chines on both sides of the boat that sit at - or slightly in - the water's surface to minimize "rocking" from side-to-side. This provides exceptional stability for grown men to comfortably stand while casting fly rods, firing shotguns, throwing a cast net, walking around and/or poling our boats. And all RIVER HAWK boats plane quickly and easily - even with a small outboard motor.

OK, so we've got the stability - but what about draft? Can we fish the saltwater flats and the trout rivers? You bet we can! 

With an average draft of only 4" (depending on weight load and distribution) every RIVER HAWK boat is designed with extremely shallow draft. Whether fishing for trout in the rivers of north Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri or Arkansas, to poling the saltwater flats, you'll be able to go where other boats can't. And our boats are very quiet, for a stealthy approach - especially important on the saltwater flats where the fish know you're there, even before you are!

CONSTRUCTION

RIVER HAWK boats are constructed from hand layed fiberglass hulls, marine composite materials and marine-grade injected foam for light weight, durability, stability, stealth and a high degree of unsinkability. Metal side rails and transom motor bracket ensure years of trouble-free service.

No wood is used in RIVER HAWK boats. NO WOOD = NO ROT.
