Stillwater 14

When it really makes sense to conduct business from a steadfast position on the water — fan-casting for bass, following through on a shot, panning the landscape with a video camera — the Stillwater 14 provides a highly stable, yet very responsive, platform.

Paddled solo or tandem, the Stillwater 14 derives much of its speed and excellent handling from the fine lines and consistently smooth finish that are signatures of Old Town’s master moldmakers.

That quality translates to very high efficiency with each paddlestroke, and at 39 in. wide, plenty of security to withstand the meanderings of young anglers and anxious bird dogs.

Standard features include black vinyl gunwales, ash carrying yoke and grab handles, ABS decks and cane seats.
