I have a friend that is looking to buy a used canoe/canoes. I think he would
like 1-3 of them, but he doesn't want to pay an awful lot for one, I think
up to the $400.00 to $500.00 range is what he is looking for. Obviously this
won't buy him a Mad River, or Old Town canoe. I think he is looking for a
aluminum or fiberglass canoe that he and his kids can bang around in.

If anyone knows of one within the 52537 zip code please e-mail me at







Thanks, John Ernst

A trip to a local shop which sell canoes may help, as many have a
bulletin board for private sales of used gear.

At the end of the season, shops which do rentals might sell off used
rental boats.

Happy trails,

Here's a brand new Mad River that retails for $499.

It's the molded plastic type (it comes with cup holders!) and does weigh 79
pounds but it's very stable in the water.
