The Forge 12 is for the angler who wants one hull that starts simple and grows: paddle it today, add a pedal drive next season, bolt on a bow or stern motor after that. It fits bigger anglers and tournament loads with 600 lbs of capacity, and anyone who fishes rivers, lakes, and bays from the same boat.
