Nova Craft - Prospector 17'

The Prospector 17' has earned its reputation the hard way, on remote rivers, open lakes, and multi-week expeditions across some of the most demanding wilderness Canada has to offer. This is the canoe that paddlers reach for when the trip is long, the load is heavy, and there's no margin for a boat that can't handle whatever the route throws at it.

The P17 carries a serious load while still feeling surprisingly responsive on the water. High volume keeps gear dry in whitewater and open water chop, and the hull tracks well and moves efficiently on flatwater when the route calls for covering distance. It's a canoe that has proven itself from the Yukon to the Canadian Arctic, and that kind of track record isn't built on marketing.
