Product Details
Sixteen feet is all you need for a week or a day, the B16 will handle a wilderness trip or nightly family cruise. We couldn’t follow the lead of every other canoe company and call this model a Prospector, even though it is our most versatile design. It’s a full hull with plenty of capacity in a short and maneuverable package. Like its sibling the B17 you can expect a dry boat with predictable behavior in moving water thanks to the symmetrical rocker. And the B16 lends itself to solo paddling since there’s no bow thwart.

| Starlite |
All Aramid. Our proprietary yellow and black makes a stunning moiré pattern. Full wet bag minimizes resin and creates the lightest weight canoe available. Foam core, ribs and internal reinforcements make a stiff, efficient hull. The choice of flat-water paddlers everywhere. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings. Color: Northstar proprietary Aramid weave. |
| Blacklite |
Carbon and Innegra co-woven outer with Aramid reinforcements. Combines the stiffness of carbon fiber and impact resistance of Innegra with the excellent tensile strength of Aramid. Our full wet vacuum bag allows us to artfully balance strength and weight. For those that want greater durability than StarLite, yet value a lightweight canoe. Color: black carbon and black Innegra weave. |
| Blacklite HD | The BlackLite HD construction is a reinforced version of BlackLite suited for rougher river conditions. |
| IXP |
Substantial Innegra with an inner blanket of Aramid. Innegra has excellent impact absorption, great flex and good abrasion resistance. A full wet vacuum bag makes a durable, reasonably light canoe. Multiple layers of Innegra with no foam core or ribs means a canoe capable of extended river tripping and expedition whitewater. An extremely durable lamination with far better performance than Royalex. Exterior resin coated because gel coat chips and cracks when subjected to substantial impacts. Color: Innegra weave |
| Stealth |
Carbon and Black Innegra co-woven outer with inner blanket of proprietary yellow and black aramid. Our lightest lamination at the expense of some durability, a dream for wet footed portaging. Only available with E6 trim and E6 parts: canoe weight reflects E6/E6 savings. Stealth is lighter than StarLite and has lower impact resistance. Weight savings and wet footed portaging go hand in hand. Many options are not offered with Stealth including: skid plates, adjustable seats, third seats, and kneeling thwarts. Color: black carbon and black Innegra weave. |
