Northstar B17 Starlite (Kevlar) Aluminum Gunnels

Is it a Bomber? A Bell 17? A Bear 17? Could be any or all of them. 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. The B 17 will handle a month in the wilderness or carry the whole family for floats on the local river. You can load it with four barrels and enjoy its moving water performance on an expedition. Or you can enjoy its safe, stable reassurance while day-paddling when the two kids and Lassie are all hanging over one side of the canoe watching Mom land a walleye.
