MARSH HEN is the latest and largest in our series of molded plywood vee bottom power boats. Designed specifically as a home base for kayak touring, she has basic accommodations for those who want to anchor in the more remote paddling areas.

MARSH HEN gives a very quiet and soft ride with low fuel consumption and excellent seaworthiness. She is powered by a 90 HP Evinrude E-TEC motor which has earned a reputation for low emissions and noise, combined with excellent fuel efficiency.
