The Chestnut Prospector is a design legend and the Hōu Canoes take on an all time classic retains all the best characteristics of this all round boat. This canoe was originally designed as a trading vessel so had to paddle well on both open water such as lakes, and also to paddle well on moving/white water rivers. It had to paddle well unloaded but also had to be able to carry a good load on the return journey. Today we still want the same from our canoes, all be it for different reasons. This boat is a joy on lakes and rivers, and will give you a dry, predictable ride whether you are solo or loaded up for a multi day trip.

All Hou polyethylene canoes are made using a unique blend of polymer wizardry know to us a s ARN13. This is a three layer HD make up of polyethylenes that give the boats a fantastic balance of rigidity, stiffness and overall strength.

With the boat being pitched at just over 15 and 1/2 feet in length it is considered as the ultimate do everything boat.  If you are looking for a single all in one boat, the HōuCanoes Prospector is going to be the perfect choice.
