Swift Combi Canoe Lineup

Welcome to of our 2024 Combi Canoe lineup! In this video, Bill goes over each model and explains the design, sizing, and usage for each design. We also discuss how Combi's work and the various ways in which they can be configured depending on whether you're paddling solo, tandem, or even in a group of three. We also compare each model to its nearest sized companion and explain what paddlers should be looking for when choosing a Combi that best matches their needs.

Holy smokes. These are beautiful canoes.

You should design a light portable chair bottom so you can use those detachable seats sitting around the campfire...😊

[@peterbastedo9095]

I bought my Prospector 16 two years ago and couldn’t be happier. The base model I chose has no adjustable/removable parts, foot bars, etc. Just two seats and a yoke. The simplicity keeps the interior wide open for camp gear or to move around while frog hunting with my nieces in the swamp.

Couldn’t have come at a better time. I want one desperately.

[@kevinduffy8800]

I love seeing that red beauty in your videos, I've seen her 4 times so far!

[@glengullickson6538]

How is a "combi" canoe different from a tandem for my wife and I, or a "pack" boat.

[@leoburosch3906]

The grey keewaydin 16 at 26 minutes ……do you have it for sale /in stock at the moment ?

[@billswift8022]

We did sell that one but we can build one just like it for you! Do you want to chat on the phone?

[@kevinduffy8800]

I noticed that there is a ridge on the port side front that appears to be aligned with the floatation chamber in the bow. I speculate that this is caused by the epoxy resin shrinking as they cool and polymerize. Am I correct? I see it in both center canoes at the start of this video. . .

[@billswift8022]

You can notice the float tanks on many of the boats. The laminate is thinner there and you get a lsight print through.

Bill - I just put in an order for the 16' expedition Kevlar. Question: If I was to make it the "combi", are the bow and stern seats removable? Dan in Pittsburgh :)

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

We can make both seats removable but would need to set that up during the build. Did you place your order through a dealer?

[@NikonF5user]

Do you ever put a kneeling thwart in a non-combi Kee16?

[@NikonF5user]

For the record, I asked that before I got to the kneeling thwart portion of the video! 😂🤣😂

[@SwiftCanoeKayak]

@@NikonF5user haha all good. glad you found your answer!
