My girlfriend and I took our Chestnut Prospector out to Indian Lake Islands two weeks ago. The weather did not cooperate. High winds and large rolling waves all day followed by rain all night. The highlight of the trip was the Prospector.It swallowed all of our gear no problem. Three large...

I had to car top two boats. I sold my SRT and met the buyer at the launch.I didn't feel like wrestling the Prospector onto the space left on my roof rack. I am taking her out next weekend. Fish Pond!

Yes.Packed. We were at Indian Lake Islands last weekend and most sites were empty. Big difference this weekend.

My girlfriend and I took our Hemlock Eagle to Saranac lake Islands this weekend. Great trip as always. My favorite camping spot. I purchased an old Duluth Northwoods pack off Ebay and was able to fit it into our gear rotation. The Eagle performed wonderfully like she always does. What a boat...

Sold!

I thinking about letting my SRT go. Kevlar/ hybrid layup. Slotted gunwales! Removable yoke included. This was built for me two years ago. Great condition. Normal scratches on gel coat. I replaced the stock seat with a conk double contour. I also swapped out the stock seat hangers. I raised the...

Hey. I am thinking about selling my carbon fiber paddle collection. The longest is 58 inches and the shortest is 49 inches. All bent paddles are 12 degrees. These are in great condition. Cleaned on a regular basis with 303 applied. I am looking for 1k for all, but am open to offers. Thanks! I...

Currenly posted on Craigslist in Watertown,NY. 600 dollars.

Adding a center seat takes up a lot of real estate. If you plan on tripping you may regret not having room for all of your gear. If kneeling I would suggest adding a kneeling thwart. This way your also get to keep you carry yoke. Kneeling thwarts are much more comfortable than you would think.

Smoking deal. I'm about 5 hours away. Just out of reach.

Same here in the Finger Lakes. Flurries. Hard to believe Memorial Day is two weeks away.

I used two old leather belts as a sling while I waited for my saddle to arrive. I made them form an X to reduce stress on the gunwales. I am already scouring the web for my next Chestnut. I am in trouble for sure. In my mind she weighs 82 pounds and will never not surpass that. That's my...

Heel! It is extremely comfortable when heeled.

Thanks for the replies! I am doing minor restorations once the weather breaks. Touching up the paint and varnish. I also purchased so replacement bolts from Nortrwoods canoe. The Azland saddle is incredible. In quality and comfort. The leather is extremely soft. I will solo this a majority of...

I recently added my first WC canoe to my fleet. A Chestnut prospector 17. 82 pounds. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I really never imagined I would own a WC canoe but the bug bit me about two months ago. There is something special about paddling a WC canoe that I haven't been able to...

The Canadian stroke will help with his as well.

That sounds uncomfortable. I use a tump on all of my boat and packs. The tump is essential on my WC canoe (82 pounds). I had a leather tumpline made locally for that and for my solo boats I use a frost river tumpline attached to my removable yoke. There will be trial and error finding the proper...
