The Nova Craft Prospector series is considered by some to be the SUV of canoes. For a canoe that can do everything, look no further than the Prospector from Nova Craft. The upswept bow, rounded bottom, and moderate rocker make for a very dry and responsive boat downriver and a fast boat on lakes. The 15″ depth at mid-ship gives you an astonishing load capacity of 1000 lbs.

The Prospector was originally designed in 1910 by the Chestnut Canoe Co. Since then, many boat manufacturers have built boats modeled after the old wood and canvas Prospectors. The Nova Craft Prospector has remained true to the original design using updated materials. The Royalex and Royalex Lite lay-ups offer durability and affordability. The Kevlar/Spectra model offers a lightweight and stiff hull for efficiency on both land and water. If whitewater and river trippting go for the Royalex, if your looking for a good BWCA or Quetico Boat thats easy to carry on long portages Kevlar/ Spectra is the boat for you.
