The B 19 can carry a family, three adult males with gear, or two NFL lineman and a moose. Its a big canoe with a ton of capacity (actually a half-ton) that handles like a smaller boat. Trust it to take your family across a big wind swept lake and then down a meandering creek, itll handle both with ease. The B 19 has the versatility you expect from a Prospector and the performance you trust from a Northstar.
