Clipper Mackenzie Sport 15' Square Back Canoe

Clipper MacKenzie Sport 15' Square Back Canoe – Compact, Ultra-Stable Utility for Hunting, Fishing & Motor-Assist The Clipper MacKenzie Sport 15' is a tough, confidence-inspiring square-stern canoe built for hunters, anglers, and campers who want maximum stability in a more manageable 15-foot package. It’s ideal for hauling gear into back bays, running a small motor for efficient approaches, or setting up a rowing rig for controlled solo travel. Built on Clipper’s proven MacKenzie Sport hull and finished with a reinforced square back transom, the 15' balances stability and utility with easier handling on and off the water than longer square-stern models. Motor, row, or paddle it—this canoe is designed to adapt to how you travel. Stable, Motor-Capable & Surprisingly Efficient The MacKenzie Sport 15' features a wide, steady hull that feels secure when you’re shifting weight to land fish, check decoys, or load and unload gear. It’s engineered to perform well with small outboards and electric motors, with excellent real-world efficiency in the 2–3 HP range (recommended motor shaft length: 15"). For solo use, an optional rowing rig adds control and performance without relying on a motor—perfect for quiet access and hands-on positioning while fishing. Big Capacity in a 15' Workhorse Don’t let the length fool you—this canoe carries serious loads. The MacKenzie Sport 15' offers over 1000 lbs of capacity with about 7" of freeboard, giving you the volume and buoyancy needed for gear-heavy day missions or multi-day setups. It’s a favourite for backcountry anglers, hunters, and anyone who wants a stable platform that can still move efficiently.
