Nova Craft Prospector 17 SP3


Whether you are looking for a canoe for all the family, or a large centre style boat then look no further than the Nova Craft Prospector 17. This canoe has enough space for a month's worth of supplies and the family. Or it's great as a centre canoe for the fun paddling experience see how many kids can fit in the boat, (give you a hint - more than 6!). The tough roto-moulded construction means it will cope with the usual abuse of slip ways etc. The Prospector 17 is a legend in areas like the Canadian arctic and Yukon, paddle it and you will know why. With good flat water speed and high sides like the entire Prospector range will give you a drier ride on coastal waters and white water rapids alike. Get two strong paddlers at the helm and this canoe paddles quickly and is great for covering distance on big inland waters. If you feel the Prospector 17 might be too long, then have a look at the shorter models in the range, the Prospector 15 or Prospector 16.
