Nova Craft Prospector 17 SP3

Whether you are looking for a canoe to carry all the family, a canoe for long expeditions or a large centre style boat to load up with enthuastic kids and clients, then look no further than the Nova Craft Prospector 17.


This canoe has enough carrying capacity (545kg) and space for a month's worth of supplies and the family. It also makes a great centre canoe to load up with enthusiatic kids (about 6!) and clients. The tough roto-moulded SP3 construction means it will cope with the usual abuse of slip ways etc. Paddle the P17 and you will know why the this canoe is a legend in areas like the Canadian arctic and Yukon. With good flat water speed and high sides, like the entire Prospector range, it will give you a drier ride on coastal waters and white water rapids alike.


If your looking for the ultimnate wilderness expedition canoe then the Prospector 17 could be the one for you!


If you think the P17 is too big then take a look at its smaller brothers, The Nova Craft Prospector 16 and Nova Craft Prospector 15.
