This canoe is the Ford F-250 of the canoe world. The perfect canoe for long trips and expeditions on big rivers, the Prospecteur 17 carries a huge load and is great for moving water.It has excellent dryness and carrying capacity in addition to superior whitewater performance. It is the boat for the great Arctic rivers such as the Nahanni, Mountain and Hood and offers predictability, dryness and stability for short river trips. It also has excellent cruising speed for flatwater. This is the perfect compliment to our whitewater touring line, which includes the Prospecteur 16, the Prsage and the Canyon.
