Enigma Canoes Prospector 17


The Prospector 17 hull design is Enigma's most recent evolution of the well established Prospector concept which has a very long heritage stretching way back to those Canadian gold rush days. The 525 kg load carrying capacity is excellent and enables it to take mum, dad and a couple of children along with the kit needed for an over-night camping trip. This is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a versatile canoe with great forward tracking while still being easy to steer into tight places. The Prospector 17 will comfortably tackle gentle to moderate moving water on winding rivers and has sufficient forwards speed to be efficient on open waters when crossing or exploring lakes and estuaries. Such versatility makes this model a great choice for paddling partners wanting to embark on adventures exploring interlinked waterways that may cover various paddling environments.


The moderate rocker on the hull rides through choppier waters very well and allows the canoe to be turned easily when put on edge. The generous width in the centre section helps with this manouevrability and provides great stability which means that even the first time paddler will feel secure and confident when taking their first paddle strokes into the world of canoeing. The Prospector 17 is also a great option for outdoor activity centres wanting a versatile craft for session use by paddlers of a wide range of abilities.


Outfitted with two traditional oiled Wood-Web seats, a kneeling thwart and carrying yoke with plenty of space to add additional seats should they be required. Constructed with a robust triple layer hull and tough vinyl gunwales and deck ends, you can be assured that your Enigma Canoe will serve you well for many years of happy paddling!
