Swift Prospector 14 The Prospector 14 is the quintessential multi-purpose solo boat.
Swift canoe prospector 14. The prospector 14 also has 2 seat height settings. Anyway I am looking to create a sailing rig for a couple of my canoes and would like to start with my 14 Swift kevlar fusion prospector. Available with multi-height seatpods to create two canoe-style setups or as a Pack boat with a kayak seat and footbraces the Prospector 14 is designed to give you a multitude of options for your next wilderness adventure.
A high-volume hull with moderate width but ample tumble home it. These 4 are Swifts current solo line-up and I had only paddled the Keewaydin 15 before. If you prefer traditional paddling while kneeling with the boat heeled over or sitting upright with your feet forward the Prospector 14 can accommodate any paddling style.
I have been reading and learning a lot here. Quick to turn and easy to control you can take your Prospector 14 out for an afternoon of fishing or photography or you can load it for days or weeks in the backcountry. Bill Swift shows off the brand new 14 Prospector Canoe and walks you through the various canoe laminates at the Toronto Boat Show.
For a 15 small tandem Id go for a Colden Starfire if spending the big bucks on a new boat. The Cruiser 168 and Prospector 14 can be seen in the pic. Id like to paddle Swifts 16 Prospector.

My buddy had a Swift Prospector 15 and it felt a bit sluggish both solo and tandem. A high-volume hull with moderate width but ample tumblehome it features a high weight capacity for long distance trippers but offers the performance and feel of a sleek high-efficiency design. There is a such a wealth of knowledge.
