The cargo capacity of the Prospector 18’ model can only be described as massive. The Prospector lines produce a canoe that feels deceptively light and responsive, but there’s tons of space to pack in a load of supplies for any expedition with room left over to toss in the kitchen sink. The P18 is a big boat with straighter tracking than our shorter Prospectors. It’s perfect for the wilderness traveler intent on expedition style adventures or a large family wanting to travel in one canoe.
If you want a canoe that will handle a month’s worth of supplies to head out on a wilderness adventure, this canoe is for you. In the Prospector 17’ you’ll find all the great characteristics that have made this canoe a paddling legend in places like the Yukon and Canadian Arctic. With lots of volume to keep you and your gear dry in whitewater or waves it still tracks well with good hull speed on flatwater.
For the paddler who loves to do solo wilderness river trips. While the Supernova hull characteristics do what you’d expect from a whitewater boat – like keep you dry and effortlessly surf a wave – where you really appreciate the canoe is the flat water sections in between the frothy stuff.
The model's lines have been taken from Joe Ziemba's own original early model, vintage Chestnut Prospector. It is an ideal canoe for carrying heavy loads and extended canoe trips. This model is beautiful, functional and safe. The 16' Original Chestnut Prospector remains the quintessential wilderness tripping canoe for lake or river travel.
The Otter is a narrow, light, and fast canoe that tracks beautifully. She has about 1" of tumblehome amidships, straight sides at the seats and is slightly flared at the ends with sharp entry lines. The bottom is fairly flat with very little rocker on the ends. She can be used as a small tandem canoe or a solo expedition canoe. Maximum carrying capacity is between 350 and 400 pounds. Standard construction includes #12 canvas, no keel or half ribs and two seats.
Not only does the Quetico 18.5 allow for high capacity loading, but it retains amazing stability and handling characteristics. Even when heavily loaded, this canoe is easy to paddle. When it comes time to portage, you’ll be impressed with how light it is. The vast majority of Quetico 18.5s are outfitted with three seats.
This tandem canoe has versatility and efficiency. If you're looking for a stable canoe that has good cruising speed, this is the one for you. Designed by using some of the same basic concepts as Savage River's award-winning racing canoes, only wider, assuring good stability and speed while requiring less effort to get where you're going. The higher sides and flared bow make it very seaworthy on a choppy lake or swift flowing river. The Blackhawk is 18' long, and with a 34- 5/8" water line, it has the capacity to haul extra cargo for a day trip or an extended wilderness experience. This canoe also meets the racing specs for most recreational races with a 16% width to length requirement.
The Sea Wind is by far Verlen's greatest achievement in canoe design and construction. The other models in the Kruger line are all designed and built just as well as the Sea Wind, but the Sea Wind is the most versatile. The more open cockpit on the Sea Wind gives the paddler the room to stay more comfortable on long trips as well as good access to gear and supplies while underway. It is lighter than the Dreamcatcher, this makes portaging or pulling around obstacles as well as car topping a little easier. The larger cockpit also makes it easier for entering and dry exiting, especially when it is tough to pull right up to shore. Gear is much easier loaded and unloaded and in a pinch the Sea Wind can become a very cozy sleeping area.
