"It is amazing that such a large-volume, tripping canoe can also be so beautiful. To paddle solo in the leaned position, it is the ideal all-round canoe."

"If I could have only one canoe, it would be the original 16-foot Prospector." So wrote Master Paddler Bill Mason in his book, The Song of the Paddle, an Illustrated Guide to Wilderness Camping.

We've returned to the classic Prospector design and specifications. The result is a responsive canoe meant for week-plus adventures or just "playing about in boats." It spins on a dime, tracks better the more its loaded, and brings pure joy to the freestyle paddler.

The Prospector is a proud addition to the Merrimack line, and one of the best all-around canoes we build.
