The MacKenzie 16.5 works great with an outboard in the 2 to 3HP range. It’s a natural with an electric motor up to 48 or 60# thrust. For solo use (without a motor) the MacKenzie 16.5 is available with an optional rowing rig.

Load it up with 1300 lbs of gear and you will have 7” of freeboard. The 16.5 Mac Sport weighs just 68 lbs in Kevlar® allowing you to access spots inaccessible to larger, heavier aluminum car top boats. Motor, row or paddle it.


MacKenzie Sport Series - Speed Test
The table below details the speeds of the MacKenzie Sport models with varied loads and three different motors. The speeds were measured with a handheld GPS unit. All three motors used for this test were 10-20 years old. New motors would likely yield faster speeds.
