If you've ever been in a canoe, you've probably gone swimming - unintentionally, of course. Canoes are fun, quick, quiet, shallow drafting, but they have a well deserved reputation for being easy to tip and roll over - even when you're being careful.

If you've ever fished or hunted from a jon boat or one of the popular flat-bottom skiffs, you're familiar with that "Jello-under-foot" feel when you try to stand or move about the boat. While jon boats and skiffs have much more room than a canoe and are much harder to roll, they don't inspire much "stand-up" confidence. Jon boats are also difficult to get on plane without an outboard motor rated for the boat's maximum capacity. They just don't convert your outboard's power very efficiently.

When you combine the best features of two popular designs, but none of their flaws or compromises, you get a RIVER HAWK BOAT from ROCKY FORD CREEK MARINE.

We are often asked, "Why does the River Hawk Boat "Taper-off" at the rear?"

The answer is simple!  Design Features…The final advancement in bullet shape occurred with the development of the “boat-tail”.  The streamlined boat-tail bullet design eliminates aerodynamic drag.  This same technology allows River Hawk Boats to glide through the water with amazing stealth.
