Danny, Danny, The Mad River Fantasy was the next generation of the Mad River Flashback. The Fantasy came out in the mid-90s, The Flashback late 80s. Real similar hull design, The Fantasy may have had slightly larger volume-not sure. Needless ...

I've been searching for a used boat for an intermidiate bigger guy and I've found a Mad River Fantasy relatively affordable. I can't find a lot of info on it, anyone know about the boat?

... and esp. when I cross over to paddle from the "other side" I feel like an absolute clutz. Would a shorter paddle be in order here or is it just a fantasy? Thanks, Tim

I thought he had a Fantasy mold, and he might but it 's not on his website after all... I think the Flashback is a close relative.

I lost my pink Mad River Fantasy in a house fire and would REALLY love to find another one - pink would be great, but not necessary.

I've got an oldschool Mad River Fantasy that I installed the Mohawk double in. I like it a lot. Very secure when the Yakima foot pegs are used. Locks you right in.

... what. I'm also a bigger guy (6'4" -215 lbs) and I'm not entirely sure how that plays into what boats are more suitable. There's also a Mad River Fantasy for sale near by, but I can't find much info on it. Any advice at all is welcome!

From the '93 catalog:
Designer John Berry/Jim Henry
Extreme rocker, asymmetrical, shallow arch
45 lbs Length 13' Gunwale width 30 1/2"
Depth at center 15"
Bow height 22" Stern 21 1/2"

What are the specs of the MR fantasy?

Photos make posts like this sooooo much better!

Hope that helps.

Big Al,
I would love to paddle on Friday, unfortunately we're not leaving the Toledo area till about 6:00pm Friday.
Paul,
I think Kevin will be paddling the Phantom. I'm still undecided-Superfly, Fantasy, Viper, Delerious........decisions, decisions, I am obivously over-boated!

... Forget it. REVIEWS: The new Dagger Agent, happy shaken or stirred. Legend has it that the new Mad River Canoe is more than just a whitewater fantasy. PLUS: Jeff Jackson’s serendipitous Idaho find is more than geometrically precise; the perfect river bend is the root of why we paddle. To keep ...
