I love and watch all of your videos. I dream of one day being able to own a Swift boat. You keep making your boats better and better, it’s just so exciting to watch. You have an amazing team of employees, congrats Swift,
Impressive lineup for 2024! Wow. Everyone else will be scrambling to keep up. Cruiser 16.8 for me, thank you. The finishes are absolutely galactic! All of us would wish for a boss like Bill, he really appreciates Matt. 😊
Beautiful boats! We’ve wanted one for years. Finally bought a combi prospector 15 in December and a badger paddle to try out soon. Still just admiring her beauty in the garage until spring. Thanks Bill and company!
I bought a 16 combi prospector last Fall and had one 4 day trip with it. What a great boat. I added a foot brace for the center seat, which I absolutely love. Also added skid plates. I did one modification. Boundary Waters Wilderness sells these 3 inch high foam yoke pads, but they don't fit on custom curved yokes. So I took a piece of maple, shaped it around my head and shoulder, and permanently mounted the pads. I use the Swift yoke for moderate portages, and take the foam pad one for trips with long portages. Perhaps Swift should consider a straight yoke option for this type of foam pad addition.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO, not a little bit because of the highlights around an hour in. I cannot wait to put this boat in the water and glide off into nature. . .
I bought my first new canoe in 30 years last fall ( Pack 13.8) Looks like it won’t be that long between new canoes this time. I can’t wait to see them in person. Nice!
After paddling the Larder River in 2021 and the Lady Evelyn river last year, I can vouch for the Expedition Kevlar for being a really tough boat but with this new UV shield.... total game changer. But then with all the rock bashing I put my canoe through, I'm anxious to see more on this Dumoine canoe in how it performs in rapids.
Yeah, the tech is fantastic, and you guys are truly the most innovative. Let’s not forget the designs…DY continues to be a designer beyond compare. P.S. I also have theee Swift boats I’ll never part with. ❤❤❤
If I was to get a Forged Carbon kayak, I would want the black forged carbon on the hull, with the red and black forged carbon fade on the deck, similar to the sunburst orange fade. If you need a place to store it, I have a rack spot open up in Hanmer, Ontario! I was blown away with the Epoxy resin, so much so that I got my upcoming boat changed immediately after seeing this video. I am so excited to get my new boat, I wish I could buy 2 of them. I'm sure there will be many excited new customers after watching this!
I have a kyak to fish on. Can these canoes be tricked out to accommodate fish finders etc. ? Like drilling holes?❤Mike Jones, Utah. Really enjoyed your video.
Has Swift and the tech team there investigated the ceramic wipe on coatings that are now being used on cars? N3Nano is one that I have seen being used on epoxy surfaces. . .
The UV Shield outer coating gives gives enhanced UV protection to our standard builds with our Epoxy-Vinylester Resin and to our upgrade option with our Epoxy Resin builds!
@@billswift8022 I wish I did, my cousin has a keewaydin, it would be interesting to compare the specs of the two canoes, there was something about that quetico, effortless paddling, good recovery, and was fast under load. Anyone that has one won't part with it!!!
that moss green prospector 15 is my dream boat 😮❤

You guys run an incredible company. Dan from Maine.
Bill, your boat is sheer perfection. ♥️
I've always loved the look of the keewaydin 16 with wood trim. I 100% agree that wood trim is Oh La La!

I love my canoe! Phew, what a beauty ❤❤
Soooo looking forward to meeting my Carbon fusion galaxy prospector 15! Thank you Bill, Matt and team🥰
How I'd love to see this used for solo whitewater canoes.

The new technology you guys are putting into your canoes appears to be a game changer! Amazing work you are doing!

I want that Prospector 14 bottom rightI I am in love with that canoe

Yeah you've done the florida state flag❤ and that boat is amazing 🏆🛶
The new stuff looks great fingers crossed 🤞I can order a wildfire this year🔥

A Red Forged kayak deck that fades to black would look amazing! What kayak model would you like? :)
@@billswift8022 I think one of your brand new Saranac 14 LC's would be fitting, and would look amazing in the forged carbon fade. 😃
Try the kayak build purple to black fade forged carbon top deck carbon h wave Hull.
As Bill says " oooo la la "
My wife always teases me as I have always loved purple. Purple on purple and I may have to drive up from Horsham, Pennsylvania USA an buy it!
I like the idea of Purple on Purple for a Forged Carbon Kayak. We can always deliver a boat to you on one of our U.S. delivery runs!
What is the definition of a pack boat ? Small Solo canoe?
Our definition of a Pack boat is a boat with a modified canoe shape that has a kayak seat and foot braces in it!
I have a kyak to fish on. Can these canoes be tricked out to accommodate fish finders etc. ? Like drilling holes?❤Mike Jones, Utah. Really enjoyed your video.
You can mount fish finders and other fishing gear
Red and black top
Has Swift and the tech team there investigated the ceramic wipe on coatings that are now being used on cars? N3Nano is one that I have seen being used on epoxy surfaces. . .
We will check that one out!
Is UV protection used to protect Epoxy resin on boat?
The UV Shield outer coating gives gives enhanced UV protection to our standard builds with our Epoxy-Vinylester Resin and to our upgrade option with our Epoxy Resin builds!
Can I order a to scale miniature of my swift 16.8 cruiser?
We are working on having the mini canoes available to purchase!
Bill do you still have the 15' SWIFT QUETIOCO mold from the 1990's?
We do not have the Quetico mould but the Keewaydin 16 is a super sweet canoe! The Quetico is a 15'10" canoe, do you have one?
@@billswift8022 l wish I had one, best canoe I ever paddled, anyone that has one won’t part with it!
@@billswift8022 I wish I did, my cousin has a keewaydin, it would be interesting to compare the specs of the two canoes, there was something about that quetico, effortless paddling, good recovery, and was fast under load. Anyone that has one won't part with it!!!
@@billswift8022 We have an original Quetico in expedition kevlar and won't part with it. It is the oldest canoe in our fleet.
😮😮😮
No dumoine this year? 😢
We build the Dumoine by special request! Let us know if you would like one!
