Wenonah Prospector 16 Tandem Canoe

Wenonah Prospector 16 Down River Canoe The Wenonah Prospector 16 is a faithful modern rendition of the legendary original Prospector — the workhorse of the North and one of the most trusted river-running canoes ever designed. Built on a proven downstream hull with ample rocker for quick, responsive turning, the Prospector 16 is exceptionally stable on rivers and streams, handling everything from meandering flatwater to more demanding moving water with confidence. Its symmetrical hull design adds a unique versatility rarely found in river canoes — a solo paddler loaded with gear can simply turn around in the bow seat and paddle it backward, maintaining solid forward progress without sacrificing control. For paddlers seeking the closest thing to the classic original Prospector that modern craftsmanship can deliver, this is it. The Wenonah Prospector 16 UltraLight w/Aramid brings the stiffest, lightest construction available to this time-tested river hull. Built with a structural-foam core and rib system laminated into the hull, reinforced fabric layers in high-stress areas, and strategically placed aluminum mounting plates — with seats, footbraces, and all hardware riveted cleanly from the inside for a smooth, snag-free exterior. Aramid fiber, the same material trusted in aerospace applications and body armor, delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that makes portaging and river travel dramatically more manageable without sacrificing the toughness this canoe demands. Wenonah has been crafting Aramid canoes for over 30 years and remains the world's largest Aramid canoe manufacturer, making the Prospector 16 UltraLight the definitive choice for serious river paddlers who refuse to compromise on weight or durability.
