The SP3 canoe models have the same performance characteristics as Nova Craft's famous Prospector models, but are made from a tough 3 layer polyethylene plastic called SP3 that withstands hard knocks and extensive use. Because the material is nearly indestructible, it makes them attractive to owners who plan to subject them to hard use with little maintenance. While SP3 canoes are Nova Craft's heaviest boats, they are also the most affordable canoes they produce. These canoes are ideal for canoe liveries and rental shops since they will give many years of faithful service at an attractive price. For a family looking for a canoe they can leave knocking around at the cottage, they’ll have a canoe that should last a lifetime.
The Prospector 15 SP3 is a scaled-down version of larger Prospectors that’s faithful to the original lines. You get all the great handling features that make the Prospector a paddling legend, in a package that’s a bit smaller and more responsive. The SP3 P15 is an ideal choice for paddlers who want a tripping boat but don’t need the extra volume. Its extra responsiveness also makes it a fun tandem play boat.
Vinyl gunwales are the only option on Nova Craft SP3 hulls on the Outfitters Series – no other gunwale option is available on SP3 hulls. Vinyl gunwales are the most flexible option and are therefore less likely to be damaged by hard impacts. The Outfitter Series canoes are designed for maximum durability as they need to stand up to heavy use and abuse in rental outfits and summer camps. Vinyl gunwales are also less expensive and help keep the cost of these boats low. The downside? Weight. Vinyl is heavy, and so is the SP3 material used in the hulls. These are the heaviest boats Nova Craft produce.
