Prospector 488

While there are dozens of different Prospector-named models on the market, the Gatz version is very close to the original. The handling characteristics of the Gatz-Prospector are very close to those of our Ohio and Orca all-rounders, which have been tried and tested for decades. A moderate round bilge and pronounced keel jump combined with a very high load capacity, which is exactly what this classic wilderness touring canoe was designed for, make it an excellent all-around touring canoe in all load situations.
