Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3
The 16 footer is the mid-sized model in the Prospector range, that follows the hugely successful popular Prospector shape. Widely considered to be the best all-round hull shape ever designed in the history of canoeing. Manufactured in the home of open boating- Canada, Novacraft have been building canoes for over 50 years and have a great reputation for their high quality workmanship and world-leading designs..
Moulded from Novacrafts SP3 material, which is constructed from oven roto-moulding three layers of super linear polyethylene. The outer skin and innermost layers are solid plastic and the middle layer sandwiched between is known as a foam-core. These canoes have proven extremely strong, and amongst the most durable available. Providing all-round canoeists with a great choice for moving water and general recreational use.
The tough SP3 material canoes from Novacraft are hugely popular with centres and rental operators due to their durability, strong construction and low maintenance. There are also moulded plastic seat options available to give even more longevity.
Available in three length's, the Pro 16 is perfect for larger occasional solo paddlers, regular tandem paddlers or paddlers looking for a higher carrying capacity than a 15ft open boat. For those wanting to paddle solo regularly yet have a similar shape canoe with less carrying capacity, but is slightly lighter and having more manoeuvrability then please look at our Prospector 15 Page.
The Prospector hull shape has proven very successful over the decades due to its versatility on a variety of different waters. With forgiving lines and a moderate rocker, the Prospector is at home canoe camping on slow moving rivers just as it is taking on low grade white-water rapids or day trips on lakes or canals.
The Pro 16 is also available in Nova Craft's premium materials, including TuffStuff- an extremely lightweight option for easier carrying and lifting. Click here for more information on the TuffStuff and TuffStuff Expedition materials.
