"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.
If you have never built a strip built canoe
before, this is a great one to start with. Its the
same on I started with. If you have built
before but are looking for that perfect river
going canoe, and appreciate a great paddling
canoe, then this is definitely the one you
want. You will never get tired of people
asking where you got your boat.
Why are you still putting this off? Hit the river with this
canoe and you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
I 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. Choose the right kit for your working environment.
