Hou Canoes Hou Prospector Lodge Spec

The Prospector canoe was originally designed as a trading vessel so had to paddle well on both open waters 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 a canoe, 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.

This classic design is all things to all paddlers, the ultimate all-rounder. With the boat being pitched at just over 15 and 1/2 feet in length it is considered as the ultimate do-everything boat.

The Lodge Spec means that the boat comes fully loaded and ready to go. This is the standard spec boat but fitted out with Peak end airbags, sailing seat, kneeling thwart and end grabs so all you have to do is grab your paddle and you are straight on the water.
