"Prospector" is a 16 foot two person river tripper canoe. I first build this
boat 23 years ago for a trip on the Yukon river in Alaska. I have been offered
a lot of money for this boat but can't bring myself to let it go. It can pack your
camping gear and a buddy with ease and still have room for your favorite
fishing pole. This boat is specifically designed for the river because of the
rocker and tumblehome present in the design.

If you are looking for a lake canoe, you should take a look at Companion for a two person or Little Rob for a
solo canoe. If you are looking to run the river then this is the one.
The "Prospector" DVD set comes with over 3 hours of instructional footage all indexed in tasks for easy
referral as you are building this beautiful Wood strip boat. The DVD's will walk you through everything from
initial setup to the final varnish. The epoxy and fiberglass shell make this boat tough as nails
Also included with the DVD is a complete set of plans for "Prospector" so that you can start building right
away. There is nothing extra to buy other than the materials to build the boat.
This 2 DVD set is over 3 hours of boat building, you will learn how to build your forms, set them up, strip the
hull, fair it out, lay fiberglass and finally flip the hull. You will be dreaming of the river as you strip this boat,
thinking of all the possibilities. Once the boat is turned, the DVD's will take you through the finishing out of
the hull step by step.

Why are you still putting this off? Hit the river with this canoe and you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
If we can't interest you in a full or partial kit, we have put together the Epoxy kit that I use during
the building of these boats on the videos and have made them available here for your
convenience. These kits have the hardener, the right resin for laying up glass cloth, the
thickening agent for your gluing needs as well as calibrated pumps for measuring the
hardeners and LV resin as well as the fiberglass cloth.
