H2O - Prospector 16'4" - Pro-Lite
H2O - Prospector 16'4" - Pro-Lite Innegra/Basalt
More than a century after its original design, the Prospector 16 is still the benchmark that tripping canoes are measured against, and H2O's Heritage Series Prospector 16'4" Pro-Lite Innegra/Basalt is one of the most faithful and capable interpretations available today.
Born from the original Chestnut Canoe Company pattern out of New Brunswick, this isn't a canoe that simply borrows a famous name. H2O set out to replicate what made the original design so enduring, adding extra capacity to suit modern tripping demands. The traditional symmetrical hull and semi-round bottom give you a canoe that feels alive and responsive whether you're leaning into a river turn or picking a line through whitewater. Sharp entry lines slice cleanly into the water but flare out quickly toward the bow, lifting the hull over waves rather than digging through them. It's a meaningful design detail that makes a real difference on big, wind-swept Canadian lakes.
The Pro-Lite Innegra/Basalt layup brings a sophisticated combination of impact resistance and stiffness to a hull that's genuinely lightweight. Innegra fibres absorb energy on impact while basalt adds rigidity, and together they produce a canoe that holds up to hard use without weighing you down on the portage trail.
Responsive under light loads and rock-solid when fully packed, the Prospector 16'4" earns its reputation as a Canadian classic on every paddle stroke.
