I agree that Ebay would be a great choice. I have gotten a number of good
deals on there, and have seen even more.

I have seen a number of canoes on ebay, but most say "local delivery only"
which I consider a pain in the butt because I live quite a number of miles
from where the are being sold, ( I guess that people around here never sale
canoes)and at $2.00+ a gallon, by the time I travel two days there and back
I think I would have bought a new canoe.

I wish you all the good luck in finding one. Whether you go with new or
used. Myself, canoeing is a great way to spend hours with family and
friends.

Hello all,

I am having a late midlife crisis and instead of a Boxter or a new wife i
thought I might try canoeing, but don't want to get a second mortgage. I
would really welcome some suggestions for a decent all purpose, but
mostly
river travelling, canoe. Also, any help w/ accessories to get started
right
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance to all who offer advice.

Hi Terry,

I think I just went through the same crisis myself.
Try eBay, I just got a 1 year old Winonah Adirondack that looked as though
it had never been out of the garage for
$500.00.
I also got 2 kevlar paddles (can't remember the brand) that retail for
$249.00 each but I paid $70.00 for both.

HTH,

Ken B.
