Just ordered mine yesterday! Been meaning to get a solo boat for a couple of decades after my paddling pals were slowly lost to children and motor homes :) Swift boats are unbeatable; ditto the great, friendly and knowledgable service! Gawd, I can't wait; another bonus is the boat is likely to be ready soon for some autumn paddling and wildlife photography!
Ask and ye shall receive absolutely amazing video Scott to see the boat in action to tell its true dimensions also to see those beautiful colors for what they really are instead of those sample tiles shot and a poorly lit back room or trade show this made my morning you guys rock
@@SwiftCanoeKayak I'm stuck between the prospector 14 and the osprey I know I love💞 the look of the Expedition Kevlar just trying to decide if it's worth the extra weight trust me you'll be first to know the day I sell these jet skis I'm Blown Away they haven't sold yet🤷🏼♂️
GREAT BOAT!! I would like to say big thank you to you guys for listening to what I do with a canoe and hooking me up with the prospector 14. It’s the perfect fit for my trips with my dogs👍 Now on to the business side of things. I don’t have the foot braces. Is it to late to put them in?
footbraces can always be added. You can drop the boat off with us and we'll take it to our factory for install. Turnaround time is usually about 4 weeks.
You should bug Randy at AO to set you up with a rental so you guys can take one or two on a trip. We can always set you up for a day paddle with them too.
MAN I want one so bad! Here's the thing, I think I'll end up using it more with a kayak paddle than a canoe paddle. Would it be as comfortable as the old style seat with the back rest? I guess I gotta head up to the store and test paddle it, or maybe rent one from AO if they have them next year. Cheers, can't wait to try it!
You can get it as a pure Pack boat with only a kayak seat. But then you don't have the canoeing option. But with the multi-height pods and the lowered seat with an after-market backrest works really well. It's comfortable.
aaron o 1 second ago so what's cookin' for rocker on this beaut? Can we take 'er down the lower yough? The upper gatineau? The lower madawaska? Colors? Does it come in a royalex-like material (like T-formex or tough stuff for blunt impacts when i go floatin' through the class 3 waves making blunt impacts on ev'ry boulder in sight?) Can we rollick in haystacks like Bill Mason in Waterwalker?

An artisan canoe thats truly on another level.

Glad you dug it Brad! Florida needs a Prospector 14 in it. That's where you come in. (we'll settle for a Cruiser...)

completely gorgeous boats. that's probably the biggest man i've ever seen in a canoe, let alone a 14 footer, my goodness.
Very nice. Trying to decide on a small canoe just got harder.

SwiftCanoeKayak excellent thank you👍
Nice Scott! I really like that boat!

So nice. Sure want one.

SwiftCanoeKayak Is it possible to convert a keewaydin 15 pack to have this style of seat?
For fishing in the BWCA would the Prospector 14 or the Keewaydin 15 have better stability pulling in a good size northern?

Just bought one.
Congrats Paul! We hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
It was a pack boat not the double level seat model
Looks great how much does it weigh?
What is the capacity of the canoe in lbs????
The boats in the video weigh 32 lbs with the specs they have. Optimum weightload is 200-400 lbs, max capacity is about 600 lbs.
Too bad they are sold out everywhere
Maybe next year I’ll get one
Thanks
How much?
Price can vary depending on material and options. Here's a link to the pricelists: www.swiftcanoe.com/downloads
