Can anyone help me with Blackhawk canoe info. I just purchased a solo 14'6 canoe. Serial number ends in 92, I assume it is the year. Starts with BLQ. This canoe had very littke use and really lightweight. Has a weave material on the side but do not believe it is kevlar but possibly.

Yes...probably a Shadow. 3 Shadow lengths I believe. 11-7, 13 and 14-6. Also had the SS Special at 15-8 (Slightly different but was considered a Shadow). Blackhawk was in business from 90 to 95 in Janesville, wi.

Quite a bit of info on this site if you do a site search. Also info on paddling.net with a search. There are some people in here that own a number of them and quite a bit of info. Lots of little solo models, mostly just for day paddling and freestyle. Only a couple of tripper models and there were two tandem models. There were Gold versions (Kevlar blend) and Silver versions (fiberglass blends) for the various models.

You've got a Shadow 14.6. Nice boat. Can you take a pic of the "weave material on the side"?

Based on the coarseness of the inner fabric weave, I wonder if it is fiberglass roving.

How much does she weigh?

Nice boat! Are you a kneeler (yet)?
