Excellent all-around performance.

Confident in whitewater, yet with good speed, glide and capacity.

This may be the closest thing to the original Prospector that you will find anywhere. A classic design with gracefully curved ends, and sweeping gunwales, the Prospector is a beautiful craft with a traditional look. Its beautiful lines combine form and function, enabling it to traverse both lakes and whitewater with ease.

Its rockered hull makes it quick to turn while its shallow arch cross-section and sharp entry lines gives it plenty of glide.

Ends flare quickly to shed waves in whitewater or rough lake crossings. Minimal tumblehome makes this canoe rock solid and predictable when heeled over in either tandem or solo use.
