Why do you say the RedBird has a lower carrying capacity than the prospector?
I’m ambidextrous when it comes to beers and boats Howdy Ramps, The Prospector was a real prospector’s boat originally – so will carry enough for a winter up the Yukon somewhere and then bring 1000lbs of pelts back down to Hudson Bay. (I don’t promise that my geography is any good at all – but the names are so evocative I thought I would throw them in!) If you are planning to head away for a month you would have to do some serious thinking with the Redbird to keep things simple and compact – but with the Prospector will carry a stupid amount of gear. So for normal modern uses it probably doesn’t matter. Weekends away – a week away – no difference. And you are right about the tracking. Redbird is a bit more straightliney whereas the Prospector has a balance. Generally again in modern use terms – probably little difference. Both great boats and your heart seems to be a bit more with the Redbird – and that’s the main thing. Originally posted by Dingo:What are the dimensions of the Chestnut
