We created the first Recurve with three things in mind: First, a low profile for ease of entry and lowered sail area on our windy western rivers; the custom steam bent ash gunnels are 3" lower at the bow and stern, and 8" lower in the deepest part of the curve. The oarlock area is 1" lower than standard. Second, full walk through access enabling you to literally step in dry from the shore and walk all the way forward to the front of the boat without stepping over anything. And third the tremendous advantage of full length rod storage like no other. Meaning no bent rods along the side, no tubes to shove your fragile expensive rod tip into, and best of all, easy access from all areas of the boat, either the guide seat or the front or aft seats. 
This first Recurve became the Recurve Kingfisher in the summer of 2005 and has been our best selling most versatile boat since.
Now we have the distinctive steam bent gunnels available on three models: the Classic, the Guide and the Kingfisher.

16' Recurve Classic ™ – Weight: 300lbs. Beam at chine: 49". Beam at oarlocks: 73".
16' Recurve Guide ™ – Weight: 325lbs. Beam at chine: 57". Beam at oarlocks: 75".
