Nova Craft Prospector 16 SP3
The Prospector 16 from Canadian manufacturers Novacraft follows the hugely successful and popular Prospector hull shape. Widely considered to be the best all-round Canadian canoe design, and offered in Novacraft's SP3 material. This material is nearly indestructible, maintenance free and 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.
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. The tough Nova Craft Prospector 16 canoes 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, Prospector SP3 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 Novacraft Prospector SP3 is also available in a 17ft length perfect for carrying heavier loads, or fitting a 3rd seat into.
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. Nova Craft also offer their Prospector 16 in their premium lightweight materials. These materials offer less durability, but increase the option for easier carrying and lifting.
