I’ve been paddling my TuffStuff Prospector 17' through some serious whitewater for about a year. I recently carried the same boat on 19km of portaging in Killarney – it’s light! That’s not something I ever would have done with my 17’ Royalex boats. I love the versatility.

The Prospector 17' the best tripping canoe that Barbara and I have ever paddled. Blue Steel made with Nova Craft’s infusion process is definitely the way to go. They are both light and incredibly strong. They are aptly named

Since 1971 and a trip down the Eastmain, I have paddled prospectors. In 1971, they were wood and canvas from Chestnut Canoe Company. Since the early Eighties, I have paddled Nova Craft’s model 17′. Like its wood and canvas predecessor, it can handle all sorts of water. It does just as good a job on small narrow twisty shallow streams as on the big lakes and the wide fast rivers. For one boat for one trip I would always take a prospector.

We have been paddling the Prospector 17' for two years now and it has become our favourite canoe. It has been on four wilderness trips on the lakes and rivers of northern Saskatchewan, it handled well in class II water, carries all our gear well and we fight to see who gets to carry it over the next portage.
