Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3
The Nova Craft Prospector 16 is based on the original Chestnut Prospector, a true workhorse of the Canadian North. Constructed from durable SP3 triple layer rotomoulded polyethylene, this canoe will stand up to the abuse of many years of paddling.
This canoe feels most at home loaded with gear paddling a remote wilderness lake or river and with a load capacity of 409kg it is well suited to multi-day expeditions. 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. There is plenty enough space for two people and 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 solo or with company, with loads more space for kit!
Available with various seating options. The Wood Web seating option is standard spec and suitable for general recreational use. We have designed the Plastic Seat specifications alongside Nova Craft to meet the demands of UK hire outlets and outdoor education centres who require a more durable outfitting with lower maintenance. The 3 plastic seat option does not have a thwart or yoke to provide additional deck space, whilst maintaining a solid hull form.
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 for an expedition trip then take a look at the Nova Craft Prospector 17.
Also available in a lighter weight TuffStuff version.
