The Nova Craft Prospector 14' Solo TuffStuff is a scaled-down version of the iconic Prospector hull, purpose-built for solo paddlers seeking a versatile, lightweight canoe for backcountry adventure.
Constructed from Nova Craft's proprietary TuffStuff composite — a woven blend of basalt and Innegra fibres infused with high-impact vinylester resin — it delivers outstanding durability without the weight penalty of traditional materials. The symmetrical hull with a shallow arch bottom and moderate rocker offers a confident balance of stability, manoeuvrability, and flatwater efficiency.
Available in green, orange, yellow, and blue, this nimble 427 cm solo canoe is ideal for day trips and extended wilderness expeditions alike.
The Nova Craft Special Edition Prospector 16 is a striking twist on one of Canada's most iconic canoe designs, built in the brand's highly regarded TuffStuff composite material — a woven blend of basalt and Innegra fibres infused with a high-impact vinylester resin. Clear interior and exterior gelcoat reveals the distinctive black and white weave of the TuffStuff layup, giving the canoe a sophisticated steely grey appearance that is as functional as it is eye-catching. At 25.4 kg with a 454 kg load capacity, this symmetrical 488 cm hull is equally at home on wilderness expeditions or mixed-water day trips. Factory-fitted skidplates, anodised aluminium trim, and a contoured ash yoke complete the package, making it truly backcountry-ready from the moment it leaves the shop.
