I just completed a Solo Big Trout Lake Loop. This boat gave me the performance and stability i needed. Great fishing platform. Very glad I picked this boat.

I bought my prospector 14 a year ago and absolutely love it for flatwater and fishing. Do not recommend if you are dealing with any rapids at all but it’s everything I wanted for my Algonquin backcountry portage rig.

As good as I hoped

The only boat similar that I have paddled is the Old Town Next. By comparison the Swift has far greater Primary stability, is able to handle wind and waves far better. Swift says the design pushes the waves under so not to disturb the boat, I now know understand what they mean, waves just seem to dissapear. It is about 20% faster and tracks much better in glide and during a stroke but is still easy to turn when needed. In short it is living up to all that Bill Swift promised. At almost half the weight of the Old Town, just getting it to the shore and on the roof of the car is a joy not a pain. When I pick it up in one hand with ease to walk it back the car the look of other peoples face is pricless. The seat and foot braces are comfortable and sturdy. Final bonous it looks amazing. cannot think of a single reason to regret my purchase.

Have more than a few trips with this boat and can’t say enough good things about it. I weigh 310 lbs and it has more than enough capacity for me and a few days worth of gear. A worth while investment for a years of trips and exploring.

My 2nd Swift. Love my (now discontinued?) Temagami but I’ve always wanted a solo boat and decided to take the plunge last year. Prospector pack boat is beautiful, solid (expedition kevlar), light and can carry whatever gear you need for a solo adventure. Not the cheapest boat on the market but you get what you pay for. I will also say that Swift’s customer service and after sales support are some of the best I’ve experienced.
