Carbon all the way, baby!!! 👍👍

[@c-dublife]

such nice boats

[@GeneD283]

Just took delivery of a Prospector 15 tandem in carbon fusion last December. I really love the canoe and at 35 pounds it's very easy for my 71 yrs to handle (especially compared to our 75 pound Grumman). Squeezing another 5 pounds from the Prospector 15 with the new materials is very impressive, enough of a difference to make this an attractive upgrade for me to consider in the future. 👍

I'm 63 and took delivery in September of a 16 foot Prospector (kevlar fusion) in a combi configuration, as I mostly solo. I love the carbon kevlar trim. All three seats are removable, and I took the foot brace option for the solo position. Very light. What a great boat.

[@DarrenBush]

Such beautiful finishes. Thanks for putting in the details to create a truly lovely craft. I love my three Swift canoes and I’m proud to be a Swift dealer. :-)

That keewaydin 16 is a gorgeous colour!!

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

I like the anatomy of a canoe part! Really cool to see that model. Excellent video

[@kevinbungles]

Nice, do you do a prospector 15 with a foot brace

[@NikonF5user]

How do the side pods handle different seat heights? If one orders a Prospector 15 or WildFIRE for instance and wants the seat(s) mounted up high for kneeling - is that something that can be done?

[@mmmbass6068]

I wish the gunnels and end-caps had the same finish to make it look nicer

[@amo757]

I'm sold. I live in Virginia; how do I get one?

[@mccluskeyp]

Do you offer the aluminum gunwales in natural silver color instead of the black coated color? I own two canoes with aluminum gunwales, one with natural color and one with black. The black is very hot in the sun and the natural is no problem at all.

[@billswift8022]

We do the Aluminum Gunwales in the one colour. If you want a trim that is less temperature sensitive, our Carbon Kevlar Trim is the way to go!

[@DarrenBush]

We have the carbon gunwales and they have never been hot to the touch. Just FYI.
