When I first approached SOAR about creating the Pro Pioneer, I knew they had the best hull design for carrying large loads and maintaining amazing performance characteristics. It was simply a question of finding the right dimensions for a 1500 pound payload. The Pro Pioneer is one heckuva boat! The Pro Pioneer was designed specifically for the Alaskan Float Hunter! It can carry 2 hunters and a moose plus a weeks worth of gear. A single hunter can carry a moose, a caribou and a bear all in one load. 14 additional d-rings have been added to increase the already numerous lashing spots. Six handles (bow, stern and two on each side) for provide great assistance in maneuvering through too shallow waters or over log jams.
