Nova Craft Prospector 17’ Canoe – Rare Royalex (2014)
This is a 2014 Nova Craft Prospector 17 made with Royalex, a lightweight and durable material that’s no longer manufactured. 2014 was the last year Royalex was produced, making these canoes highly sought after and hard to find, especially in great condition with no oil canning.
✅ 17 ft Prospector – Nova Craft’s most versatile tripping canoe
✅ Royalex construction: lightweight, tough, quiet, and repairable
✅ Comfortable woven seats, wood thwarts, solid gunwales
✅ Great for rivers, lakes, or extended trips
✅ Normal scratches on the hull from river use (cosmetic only, no structural issues)
💡 New comparable models (like TuffStuff) run $3,000+, but this classic Royalex is ready to paddle today for a fraction of the price.
📍 Located in Batavia,IL Cash only – first come, first served.
