Swift Canoe 2018 Canoe Laminates & 14' Prospector

[@johannschmid9811]

Wow..... looks very good... cruisin in small rivers or creeks or allong the reed zones of a big river or lakes!!!

[@alf3553]

How about a video for someone who has never purchased a canoe. Show off the models and features. 🇨🇦 I’ve been looking at these for years, just not sure what model to go for...

[@Traversing]

That's a great idea, I'll see what we can do!

[@BettySwollocks13]

@@Traversing did you do it?

[@Hannahcode1]

Would be nice to have given the exact weights. Also would have been nice to have mentioned the FLAX Developers if you purchase and use their product. But ya - the weight is a crucial factor for most.

[@Lawman-196]

Great vid! I just bought a Wenonah Escapade, but my next solo is definitely going to be that Prospector.

[@Traversing]

We've test paddled most of them... it's a hard decision which one to buy!

[@georgesdoucet1361]

What I would really like is length, width, dept , and weight.

[@MichealBacon]

Bill: can you fit a 30 liter barrel aft of stern thwart or forward bow thwart? If not, it's just another cottage lake boat for the kids...for $4300 CDN..

[@Traversing]

You sure can!

[@mflacke]

I know this is a laminate demo and WOW these look nice. But, any chance of T-Formex being used for any of your moving water solo designs for my local Ozark streams down in the US? Thank you.

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

At this time we don't have plans to produce any solo models in T-Formex, but we do offer all solo models in a heavy duty Expedition Kevlar. It isn't a T-Formex alternative, but it's a robust hull laminate that's a fair bit lighter. You never know what the future holds, we could do T-Formex solos in the future if there is enough demand.

[@michaelbandeko3519]

Wenonah is building boats in T-Formex.

[@bradlepaddle9512]

Y'all should put out a new video or two showcasing your solo boats side by side! I would love to see the osprey, the prospector14, and the Kewadin15 side by side maybe with the pack boats12-13.6 actually on the water ... Probably the wrong time of year to suggest this

[@Traversing]

Thanks for the ideas, I'm sure we'll collaborate on more videos with Swift in the future.

[@BrodyToYou]

Beautiful! I’m ready for a paddle!

[@jerrynewman1380]

Where r y'all located

[@jeffreyelliott622]

LOL Duh Canada I suppose !!!!

[@slickcolton9465]

I'm planning on purchasing a Adirondack 13.6 this spring/early summer but the added cost and time of traveling from Winnipeg is a big detouring factor for me. Do you offer shipping to Winnipeg? If so how much? I have not been able to find any info about paddles from you. Do you guys make kayak paddles? If you do it would make a great video!

[@fireyourrocketts]

I just purchased mine at Canoecopia in Madison, Wisconsin. Same model you want. I was for few years trying to find a way to get one but the thing is unless you are sure which one you want, the best thing is to just see them in person or even try them if that is possible, so, I drove from Las Vegas to Wisconsin 3750 miles round trip to see and get one, the extra cost? almost $1000 in road trip costs for exactly one week that it took but now i got the boat I always wanted. Like I said, seen is believing but if you want it not expending too much more than its already high price other than the delivery charge (for me it would be $500.00) the best way is to go there in person. You do not have to drive like I did. You can also fly there, but I figured if I drive and see it in person, my only extra cost would be about $500.00 more to complement the trip.

[@backpackertoo]

Well, I would love to buy two or three of them but im not that wealthy! I can't even afford one!

[@bksaun]

Gosh, how much are these on average?

[@backpackertoo]

@@bksaun $3500

[@bksaun]

WOW!😳 proud of them aren’t they! Guess I won’t be owning one anytime soon either.

[@davids7774]

Do you have any prospector 14s with the canada 150 edition left? And is the two tone on the 150 and whispering pine the same two tone offered on other packboats that adds to durability?

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

Hey David, we offer the Canada 150 package on any model, so we can definitely build one for you. The two-tone on the Canada 150 and the Whispering Pines is the same as our standard two-tone, it just has the artwork embedded into the gel coat on the underside.

[@davids7774]

Hey thanks for the reply, how long is the build for a prospector 14 Canada edition?

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

Normal lead time on a custom build is about 4-5 weeks

[@Naughtz]

I was at the outdoor adventure show in Toronto visiting your booth and not once did somebody come talk to me. The two sales guys kept going to the guys all dressed up talking sales game smoozing. Little did they know the guy in shorts with muscle top had cash in pocket and was ready to buy on the spot or atleast order one. Bad vibes from swift. Still haven't heard back from them about the Keewaydin 14 and yoke options for portaging?! Hope somebody pays attention to this as I have a bad taste left in my mouth now with this company.

[@andrewcullen8635]

So you have no Chines which reduces stability and holding a straight line. You have a 2 height position seat? Guess what we come in more than 2 sizes? So what else have you mucked up?

[@terrywebb8545]

"Mucked up?" So you haven't paddled many DY designed boats, have you? I've not paddled this boat, but having paddled many dating back to some of his designs for Sawyer and I've yet to "Meet" a boat Yost "Mucked up!" I think maybe you need to take a "Chill pill" and a nice, long paddle?

[@michaelbandeko3519]
