I've had a Royalex Penobscot 17 for a few years. I love the way it paddled on moving rivers and it will haul a load, but it was too heavy for me to load on my truck by myself and too big to solo. I have been watching Craigslist for a while for a Penobscot 16. Most I saw were too beat up or priced too high. I saw a new one yesterday morning in Charlotte, NC (2 hrs away). It looked good in the photos, so I touched base with the seller. He had already gotten a call. Pressure was on. My wife gives me lots of freedom to hoss trade without me explaining why, but expects one boat to go for every new one that I buy. I decided to see if I could sell the 17 for the same price as the 16 I had just found. I already had photos of the 17 on my phone that I could attach to my post. I got it up on Craigslist around 9:30 AM yesterday and spoke to a Buyer around 1:30. He came later in the day and bought it. I told the owner of the 16 that I was ready to come get it any time today, so I did. I doubt it has been in the water more than 5 times. The Royalex marketing sticker is still on the hull! Now the question begs, Do I attempt to remove it and probably leave a mess..or.. Do I embrace the sticker and preserve it?
