Thanks - it's a fun boat to paddle. You'll want to paddle it before you by - it's 34" wide, with a fair amount of arch to the hull, so it's a bit twitchy when empty - you'll want to check that out. Very manageable, but if you've been paddling wider, flatter bottom canoes, it will be a change.
That is a good looking canoe! I wish it had a little tumblehome. I have been considering a Swift Prospector 14.....What is the price tag on the NC? I am less then 2 hours from you in NH.
Hi - the MSRP is $3,249, but we're doing a Winter Inventory Reduction sale, so you'll do better than that. Details are on our web site (whiterosecanoe.com/).
How does the performance of the Prospector 14 compare to the Fox? They are the same length and nearly the same weight so I am wondering how they compare since I am looking for a canoe in that size. Thank you
The Fox 14 hull has noticeably more arch and less rocker than the Prospector 14, it's also a bit shallower. The tighter arc in the hull reduces the initial stability, making it more "tender" than the Prospector. It's designed as a fast lake cruiser, while the Prospector 14 is much more of an all round canoe. If you're intent is cruising and you like a lively ride, then the Fox would probably be more suited.
I don't have a video, but it's pretty straightforward. Visualize a barn hinge (once side tall and narrow, the other long). The tall narrow flap connects to the gunwale, the long narrower flap attaches to the yoke. Add a hefty cotter pin to connect the two. To remove, pull out the cotter pin. Very straight forward and easy.
Thank you for your review! We are excited about this new model too.
Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison between this and the Swift Prospector 14...
Enjoyed the video . Quality craft

It would be great if they went and got some Tformex from the Fake French.

Any video of the yoke and how's its put on an removed?

I would take a Swift Prospector 14 solo Kevlar at 29 pounds
Sorry, too wide.
