Prism Rowing Canoe

We like this canoe because it is fast, lightweight, and we like its looks.  When equipped with a Frontrower rowing system, it can outperform some recreational rowing shells.  This is a performance oriented recreational canoe designed for solo paddling.  It is narrow on the waterline compared to a tandem canoe, and it has tumblehome which makes it narrower at the rails (or gunwales).  This means that there is not enough room for adult passengers, but you could bring a child or a dog along, and there is plenty of room for cargo.

The Prism is manufactured by Wenonah Canoes in Wenonah, Minnesota.  You can buy this boat from us, or order it "FrontRower ready" directly form the factory.  Another alternative is to buy from your local dealer's stock and make the modifications necessary yourself.
