Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3
The Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3 design is based on the original Chestnut Prospector, a true workhorse of the Canadian North and an icon within the canoe world. This canoe feels most at home loaded with gear paddling a remote wilderness lake or river but it also makes a great canoe to load up with the family and headoff exploring inland lakes and waterways.
Whilst it's a great recreational boat it's versatile enough to be a good all round canoe. The shallow hull gives a great stability to the boat and with experience your confidence levels will increase. With enough space for two people and a few days camping kit it has to be one of the best all round touring canoes on the market. High sides give you a dry ride through waves and rapids alike by cutting through and deflecting the water. With a symmetrical design front to back this boat is easy to paddle as a tandem crew or paddle solo with loads more space for kit! Novice paddlers can jump in and feel confident for general day trips, whilst experienced canoeists can outfit this canoe extra seats, buoyancy bags or blocks, dry barrels, kneeling mats and thwarts and more to make the Prospector 16 into a very verstaile craft for big adventures both on flatwater and running waters!
Available with traditional wood/web seats (most popular) or hard-wearing plastic seats for heavy use / low maintenance requirements. If you think this is too big try its little brother the Nova Craft Prospector 15. If you're looking for a boat to take you and the family and a stack of gear then maybe look at the bigger Nova Craft Prospector 17.
