Re: Buying an old canoe (Old Town Guide 18') The Old Town Canoe website is Very informative. Standard practice to to strip the canvas off, 'n cover it with fiberglass.įiberglass, 'n resin is much stronger, 'n more durable than canvas, 'n oil paint coverin'. If the wood is Ok, 'n the canvas coverin', is goin' to 'ell. The boat yer lookin' at, in Pristine condition, is listed as 86 lbs.Īs far as fixin' up this canoe ya found, dependin' on the condition ya find it in.Īny rotten wood, will need replacin'. The standard lay-up fiberglass, 'bout the same weight, but more fragile to rock impacts. The standard plastic canoes usually run 'bout 60/ 80 lbs, dry.(cross-link Poly, Royalex, 'bout 1/3rd less) I'm of course, prejudice to Mad Rivers, vs. Yer budget oughta get ya a nice used plastic canoe, from Old Town.(for yer purposes, probably the Best bet)Īn ole Coleman would be well under 1/2 yer budget.Ī Mad River, while very nice canoes, 'n comparable to the quality found in Old Towns, as they use(stole) the Old Town roto-moldin' process.

If yer lookin' for a "Wall Hanger", that's the 1 yer lookin' for.īeautiful boats, but somewhat fragile, compared to the fiberglass, 'n plastic canoes We all use today. Pristine bein' the key word.(with the data plate intact) In Pristine condition, that boat is worth 'bout $3500.00. Bein' an ole Maineiac, born, 'n raised in Old Town Maine, I've seen a few Old Town canoes. Thanks for all your help so far and in advance for any more.Īyuh. My goal for a new canoe is probably $500-700 to start for now considering my current economic scenario. So, let me ask you this, since you're from my neck of the woods (I'm an Ontario boy) and in fact where I'd like to get started: how would you recommend getting into portage? My true dream ambition is a birchbark canoe, but after seeing exactly what's involved, I realized that I'd rather go with a mass-market one to get on the water within a reasonable amount of time. I read that I should expect a canoe to reasonable weigh probably 70lbs regardless so I was surprised (I'll be honest that in my ignorance I was expecting super modern lightweight materials etc etc). Kevlar, you say? Is that the type of canoe I should be looking for? Where can I find a proper resource? Portaging is exactly my primary goal, so I'm glad you mentioned that.

Still, if he's going to put it up for $200 I'd like to acquire it for the project reasons you mentioned. I had a feeling this would be the reply - thank you for both your promptness and your honesty. Thanks in advance, as I have ZERO idea what I'm doing. Please let me know what I should look for, what I should take pictures of, and what I should ask. In four or five days time, when I check this thing out, I plan to take pictures and I'll let you guys know the price as well, I was wondering if anyone could offer some preliminary advice: i.e., if this already sounds like an awful idea for a first timer, please let me know. But, depending on the price, and if the amount of TLC this thing requires (and if it's along my skill level), I would love to own this and call it my own. I realize it may be more worth my while to get a new, fibreglass one, so I'm fully willing to go that route. I'm a 27 year old graduate student and amateur carpenter, a cabinetmaker with no boat building experience. It is a canvas and wood frame canoe apparently in good condition requiring some minimal work. I am expecting it to look something along the lines of this: It's a 1 or 2 decade old Old Town Guide 18' canoe. I'm getting ready as in a few days I'm going to go take a look at potentially, my first watercraft, and first canoe.
