Prospector Canoe - FINISHED!

Finally, the canoe gets wet!  It sat in my garage several months while I went on several overseas and domestics trips.  At least the varnish is good and hard now!

The Prospector paddles well solo from the bow seat or kneeling.  Very stable feeling.

When paddled tandem, the primary stability was a little tender, but the secondary stability was excellent.  The boat could be leaned to the gunnel without any tendency to flip.  

We tried three people in the canoe, and it paddled well with the 200 pounds of third person sitting on a foam pad in the middle. 

The rocker allows the canoe to turn very well when edged, so this seems a good boat for freestyle canoeing. 

I'm looking forward to seeing how the boat performs in whitewater!
