Thanks for the comments so far. The emails keep coming in, with more
boat offers, listed below. I will go see the Encore tomorrow, probably
the best deal, depending on what he wants for it. I will probably offer
$300. If I don't like the Encore, the XL13 sounds like the next best
deal, due to condition. Some of the boats offered to me are clearly
unsuitable or overpriced.

Dagger Encore - 13.2 feet, classic solo whitewater boat, Jeff in
Boulder. Has a black plastic saddle, never mounted. He paid $500 for
it, would take less.

Mohawk XL13 - beginner whitewater boat, new condition, rigged, for $600.
John in Denver.

Wenonah Rendevous Kevlar - $1400, too much money.

Ocoee - too radical

Old Town H2Pro - Fran in Steamboat.

Dagger Impulse - 12’ 8”, mixed reviews. $550, Gail, needs new flotation
bags.

Blue Hole - model unknown, 15 or 16 feet long $600-700,

I think that we are talking apples and oranges, but I sent out a note on
the local club email list, and a couple of emails came back. One
offered a Mohawk XL13 for $600, said it was outfitted and in like new
condition. Another said he had an Encore he was not using, but did not
mention a price.

My impression is the following: The XL13 is a beginner whitewater boat,
but would probably work OK for tripping. The XL13 presumably would be a
noticeably better whitewater boat than my Camper, but not as nice as an
Outrage X or Prodigy X. The Encore is a classic solo whitewater boat,
probably an older design. I think that the Encore is around 13 feet
long, although the info on the web is limited and contradictory.

Not sure if any other boats will pop up. The XL13 is a good deal, if it
is in good condition, but I wanted a little more boat.
