Slipstream Impulse 13 Canoe

Experience the Slipstream Impulse 13 Canoe.

The John Henry Rushton (turn of the century Adirondack boatbuilder and designer) inspired Impulse 13 is a blatant modification of the Rushton Wee Lassie.   At 2.5 inches longer than the Lassie, the Impulse expands your paddling comfort zone, may be effectively paddled with a canoe or kayak paddle and it’s FAST!

The Impulse 13 is the answer for carrying larger loads than the Wee Lassie, paddling even faster and for cruising in more challenging conditions -- even loaded with fishing/camping gear.

The hull is a shallow V that exhibits excellent initial and final stability.  It paddles and glides with little effort . . . quiet, precise in tracking, maneuverable, seaworthy and capable of carrying significant loads.

The Impulse 13 is a boat that you’ll want to paddle for the shear pleasure of skimming across the water on impulse . . . or in an Impulse . . . or whatever . . .
