The Little River Marine Heritage 18 Single Guideboat is the newest to our Heritage line. It is built on the same acclaimed hull shape and design as the Classic Heritage but sold at a more economical price. This is a single-skin boat, which means it is made from a hull mold only, similar to a canoe. The inside has a gel coat finish. The Heritage hull is famous for its stability. One can even stand in it and cast a fishing pole.
This rowboat will probably stay in your family for generations. Its timeless lapstrake hull, swooping sheer, and wineglass stern give her classic good looks. At first, one just wants to look at it and imagine the quiet streams and golden sunsets where a Heritage belongs.
These boats are made in the USA and are customizable.
Reminiscent of the romantic rowing craft which graced the waters at the turn of the century, the Heritage line is as much a joy to look at as it is to row. All of our rowboats are crafted using hand-laid fiberglass.
The Heritage comes in three sizes, Heritage 12, Heritage 15, and Heritage 18. The Heritage 15 and the Heritage 18 can be rigged to row as a single or a double station. The difference is that the Heritage 15 is a lighter launch, and thus easier to handle, while the Heritage 18 has a longer waterline, and thus better rowing double. Which rowboat is best for you? If you will be rowing mostly as a single, the 15 is probably best. If you plan to row mostly as a double (and occasionally as a single) then the 18 is your best bet. The Heritage 12 comes as a single only, but can carry passengers. It is a good choice where space is a concern, for to use as a tender to a big boat. Also, ladies tend to prefer its smaller size.
Versatility to fit your lifestyle. Take a partner or pile in the kids. Row hard or just sail. Clamp-on a two-horsepower motor. Pack a lunch and go exploring. Strap it on the car for summer vacation.

Features
Speed-wise, the Heritage is certainly the fastest traditional design that can claim the ability to stand in. The benches are wood for a touch of tradition without overwhelming maintenance. The sliding seat monorail sets on top of the bench just as in the Classic. One may remove the slider (or order it without a slide) to row in the traditional fixed seat way. The rigger design is fixed in the outboard position as in a shell. Top of the line Concept II oarlocks is standard.
