I was hoping the Fast Howler was a normal Howler that someone put mothballs in the gas tank

The Fast Howler is just a Royalex Mad River Howler that I bought from a fellow in the DC suburbs - set up as a triple. Great solo or tandem.

TELL ME ABOUT THE FAST HOWLER

Hi, I’m newish to whitewater and have never had a whitewater canoe but I’m very into it. I was given a royalex mad river howler that needs a lot of work. The hull is pealing in a number of places does anyone have advice on how to patch it?
Thanks!

Howler needs new gunwales, has a big dent under the seat, and is fitted for OC1. Winter price: $200 https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/greenville-junction-15-royalex-mad/7051388275.html Dynamic C-1 is built 1" deeper than ...

... old son is ready to learn more of running his own boat (after years paddling a kiddie Thrillseeker following my daughter and me in our Mad River Howler, as well as a bit of time in a surfski in the ocean). I've got several C1s from which to pick for him and am trying to figure out the best learning ...

... will mainly be with my 11 and 14 year old kids, which will be quite an upgrade from the Hydra Duet they are familiar with (our other kid boat is a Howler OC-2). I suspect my wife may join me in it some though she vastly prefers OC-2 to C-2. Thanks for your input.

Hah, looks like folks have weighed in (...intended) on the Defiant in another thread...great boat! I've also paddled the Howler solo...

Never paddled a 15' Edge. A very uncommon boat at races I've been at. The boat I would suggest is the Howler. Kaz makes them, and Mad River made them for a few years in Royalex. A really fine boat for heavier paddlers. A close second would be the Prowler. A Prowler is +/- ...

... solo boat for all but the super-big (both weight and height). If I were you, I would try to borrow an Ocoee, and take it for a spin. I find the Howler to be an excellent solo boat for me at 230#. I know, conventional wisdom suggests a 15' boat can't be fun, sporty, and spinny. But, for me, it ...

... for a long fast slalom-like boat, you've made two good choices: Encore and Outrage X. I suggest, the next two boats to try would be the Ocoee and Howler. Both of those boats are actually raced, and feel sporty to me at 230#. My observations of the Bast suggest it will be a crazy-dry and spinny ...

Anyone got a Millbrook Hooter they would want to part with? A Howler would be acceptable too. I am willing to do a cash or cash/trade deal with an Esquif Spark that I can let go.

I'm in Pittsburgh PA. Thanks

Hey Keith
I sent you an email regarding your Howler!

Got a Howler for sale in the DC, MD, VA area. Boat is currently in Baltimore but can move. It is outfitted with a solo bulkhead saddle. I do not have bags. Hull is in good shape with no repairs, cracks, etc... Really loved this ...

... the ME was not the best tracking boat I have ever paddled but that could have been due to inexperience at the time. I currently own a Millbrook Howler that was made in the mid 90s and it is still going strong. I don't run it into rocks on purpose but I am not afraid to bump and scrape it. Plus, ...
