"Welcome to the BIGGEST - LITTLE canoe and kayak shop in the world" |
|
We have sold, and paddled Nova Craft canoes for several decades
-so we are quite experienced in terms of how well they hold up.
OUR NOVA CRAFT CANOES ARE ON SALE !!
NovaCraft Canoe materials explained....
SP3 Layer Poly™
These canoes are extremely heavy.
Fiberglass
With our Sale prices this is a great value and well suited for typical use such as gentle streams and lakes with a rocky shoreline.
Tuff Stuff™
With our Sale prices this is a great value and well suited for typical use such as gentle streams and lakes with a rocky shoreline.
The major limitation to any composite like Tuff Stuff Exp, Tuff Stuff, Blue Steel, Aramid and fiberglass is how much the resin and gelcoat around the fibers can flex, without cracking.
Adding more material adds weight and more impact resistance but in our experience, does not seem to lessen the cracks from flexing.

Our new Fox 14 is an ideal choice for solo paddlers looking for independent adventures on flatwater lakes, lazy rivers and lots of fun in mild rapids.
Its shorter length and minimal rocker give this canoe a good balance of tracking and turning characteristics.
At 14’ the Fox is the perfect size for a relaxing evening paddle around the lake but still large enough to fit enough gear for a week-long trip into the backcountry.
The narrow width makes this a faster, efficient design helping you cover distance with ease and its shallower depth catches less wind.
This design accommodates soloists who prefer cruising around using a traditional single blade OR a double bladed paddle.
Slight tumblehome on the sides helps for easier paddle strokes and the shallow arch bottom gives the paddler a stable feel but still allows for leaning the boat over to paddle Canadian-style.
Of course the Fox’s small size and light weight make it easy to get on and off the car by yourself.
The Fox 14 will get solo paddlers into the tranquility of nature with a beautiful balance of ease and performance.
Available in a Lower profile version which is
Excellent for single blade or double blade paddling,
Lighter Weight, and Much Less affected by the wind.

Since Nova Craft introduced this canoe its popularity has
been remarkable. The hull based on the Chestnut Canoe Co.'s famous Bob
Special with some improvements to increase speed. It has a shallow arch
bottom, tumblehome and a slight rocker which makes it a joy to paddle
solo. While it is ideally suited as a tandem day tripper, it's capacity
makes it large enough to handle a weekend canoe trip. Faster than most
15' canoes the Bob Special is a great canoe with classic lines.

Originally designed by the Chestnut Canoe Co. in 1910,
the Prospector has to be the greatest wilderness tripping canoe of all
time. Nova Craft has been faithful to the original design. The
Prospector has good sharp entry lines for speed but the ends flare out quickly
to float the bow over waves. The canoe is stable, but sensitive to leans
for carving turns whether paddling tandem or solo. The moderate rocker in
the keel line allows quick pivoting and side slipping in rapids. There is
no better canoe for lakes, rivers, whitewater rapids, and wilderness trips.
Other canoes may be more specialized to do a particular thing well but none can
match the Prospector for all types of canoeing!
Our Prospector 15 is all new extension of the famous Prospector line,
delivering a ton of performance in a higher volume, but compact package.
This volume makes our Prospector 15 ride high and dry with a load
and very stable for leisurely pursuits but has lots of secondary stability to handle
rougher waters. Possessing the all round easy handling characteristics of the
Prospector family, this portable gem is perfect for tandem wilderness trips or weekend getaways,
and an excellent solo expedition craft.

The increased size and load carrying
capacity and classic lines make the Prospector 17 the ultimate extended
wilderness tripping canoe. The extra volume lets you run large rapids and stay
dry even when loaded with gear. It has a slight rocker for maneuverability in
whitewater but tracks well on longer sections of flatwater. When your winter
dreams turn into summer adventures on big waters like Lake Superior, or down a
river to the Hudson Bay, the Prospector 17 makes a reliable
companion.
