The name says it all! Designed for the load requirements of the Grand Canyon or the desert rivers in Utah, the larger width makes for a stable rowing machine when looking into the throat of the Fourth Wave in Hermit! The Grand 18 features sixteen 2.5" D-rings, two removeable thwarts, Maravia's TOUGH Class VI base fabric and the best URETHANE coating on the market - over 40 times the abrasion resistance of PVC and over 15 times the abrasion resistance of Hypalon.  Check for availability in Royal Blue, Light Blue, Yellow, Red, Orange, Emerald, Purple, and Teal.  A two color option may also available for $599.  Thwart number options are also available and may change the price of the boat.  Maravia's now have a 10 year unlimited warranty!
