We're selling-off select boats from our rental fleet. All boats include: Red Aramid Lite, aluminum gunnels, web seats, skid plates and a deep dish yoke. 

Rental Boat #7: This canoe has been in the rental program for 5 years.  This canoe has not had any structural damage but has been repaired a number of times on the exterior with a colour match gel coat. Repairs have been done here at Wild Rock. There are a number of spider cracks in the gel coat exterior but no sign of damage to the interior. It has the original skid plates which are still in good working order. One of the deck plates has been damaged but is replaceable.

From the manufacturer:

The Chestnut Prospector has probably been described more often in text than any other canoe, it’s just that popular. Our version of this venerable craft is faithful to the original. Since 1984, we’ve gone out of our way to continue the tradition so future generations of paddlers can enjoy this icon of Canadian history.

The Workhorse of the Canadian north, our Prospector 16’ feels most at home loaded with gear on a remote wilderness lake or river. While it is best suited for river tripping, it remains versatile enough to be a good all round canoe. With experience, the self-righting aspects of the shallow arch hull will become apparent and confidence levels will soar. Whats more, it provides a very dry ride in big waves and whitewater. It is simply the best all round wilderness tripping canoe available.

Made in Canada.
