The Prospector 17' SP3 is built from three-layer polyethylene plastic, and it's about as close to indestructible as a canoe gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe SP3 material takes the knocks, scrapes, and abuse that would damage a composite hull and shrugs them off without complaint. That toughness comes with a weight penalty, but for cottage owners who want a canoe that lives outside year-round, or outfitters who need a boat that holds up to heavy rental use with minimal maintenance, the trade-off makes complete sense. The hull itself follows the same proven Prospector 17' lines that have carried paddlers through the Yukon and the Canadian Arctic, so you're not giving up performance for durability. There's enough volume to keep gear dry in whitewater and waves, and it still tracks well and moves efficiently on flatwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e*Weights are based on year-long production averages and may vary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"red\"\u003e*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdding options to your canoe will add to its overall weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrim Systems\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trim-para\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVinyl gunwales are the only option on SP3 hulls, and they're the right fit for this canoe. They flex on hard impacts rather than cracking, which suits the Prospector 17' SP3's role as a workhorse hull. They also help keep the overall cost down. The trade-off is weight, and combined with the SP3 hull, this is Nova Craft's heaviest canoe. For its intended purpose, that's an acceptable compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMaterial: 3-layer polyethylene (SP3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eGunwales: Vinyl (only option available)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBest use: Rental fleets, summer camps, cottage use, extended wilderness tripping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHull design: Classic Prospector lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStrengths: Near-indestructible, low maintenance, high volume for gear and supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIdeal conditions: Flatwater, whitewater, open water with waves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Canada: London, Ontario\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\" alt=\"Aluminum Lite Gunwales\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novacraft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PolyVinylStern-3.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive fattened\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"176\" width=\"350\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nova Craft Canoe","offers":[{"title":"Green","offer_id":54380275335510,"sku":"NOVAPROS17SP3G","price":149.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":54380275368278,"sku":"NOVAPROS17SP3R","price":149.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":54380275401046,"sku":"NOVAPROS17SP3Y","price":149.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":54380275433814,"sku":"NOVAPROS17SP3O","price":149.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":54380275466582,"sku":"NOVAPROS17SP3B","price":149.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7339\/0422\/files\/SE-P16-side-view2048x1365-2.jpg?v=1782764201","url":"https:\/\/zokiba.shop\/products\/nova-craft-prospector-17-sp3","provider":"Zokiba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
