The 15 is the choice of fishers and hunters, a perfect back-country boat. The flared Hull and moulded Spray Rail significantly improves its seaworthiness. The slight V-Hull design provides exceptional stability and a tracking quality that is not typical of shorter symmetrical canoes. The slight V also allows this shorter canoe to slice through chop with the efficiency of a longer hull. The moderate rocker and shorter length allow nimble movement and quick pivoting when the need arises.
Designed especially to maneuver easily, carry ample gear and run dry through lesser whitewater, such as rapids and riffles that are common on small winding rivers. Yet you'll be pleased with its performance on the lakes, as well. This Prospector is one-foot shorter and slightly wider than our Prospector 16. It has a steeply rockered hull for extreme maneuverability, extra depth for confidence, and plenty of stability.
In the Prospector 15 you can do anything, go anywhere. With one of the most versatile classic hull designs available, this canoe can be paddled solo or tandem. With stability, speed and maneuverability in all water conditions, when it comes to day tripping, this is a canoe you’ll never grow out of.

Whether you plan to portage for weeks on end or just paddle around the lake by the cottage, the Prospector may be the only canoe you’ll ever want. An incredibly well rounded canoe, it has a symmetrical hull that provides the stability necessary for a novice, but also creates the feel that experienced canoeists love. The entry lines have been extended to improve speed, and the keel has been removed for extra manoeuvrability. Great for white water and lake tripping alike, we think it’s one of the most versatile you’ll find.
