Prowler Problems

[jonnyboy]

My new prowler has had to go back after just a week of fun in the sun.

 

I am Gutted. I landed on friday after a good session out off Portland Breakwater when i noticed a nast looking lump on the left hand side of the keel at the front of th eboat. It was about the size of two fists. I thought that the fact that it was pulling to the right all th etime was the fact that i was a crap paddler, but this wont have been helping at all

 

Took it back to Bournemouth Canoes and they were GREAT about it, phoned Johnsons and a replacement should be on its way, but i cant live without it!!!!!!, Anyone else had any probs with the prowler. I hope they dont send a replacement with the new graphics of the fish on the front, I dont like that one!!

Bournemouth Canoes are a quality outfit, sure you'll be back on the water real soon.

Have got a prowler on order. I will give it a good once over before leaving the shop.

 

Thanks for the warning.

Hi,

 

I got my Prowler 13 early in the year when there was alot of fuss about the US boats and their scupper holes. I was sent a NZ boat and found that it had a large bulge on one side of the keel in front of the footwell scuppers.

 

To be fair to Brighton Canoes they took it back and sent a new US boat which touch wood has been fine over the summer.

 

The key has got to be to give the boat a really good look over when you get it. I checked out the scupper holes and the deck and made sure that there were no bad scrapes but it didn't occur to me that the hull might be misshaped.

 

On the whole I must say that I have been very pleased with the boat though.

agreed, Chris is a top bloke. I looked over a lot of shops selling prowlers and as soon as i went in I thought, Wow, these guys know thier onions, and decided to buy there and then.

 

Lets hope they can pull something out of the bag for me!!

Thats where my "bulge" was

A friend suggested thinking about my grandma but the bulge still wouldn't go away

As long as it didn't get anybigger, that would be very worrying
