I've thought of this from my house and I've figured it out. I am going to attempt parts of it in the spring. I am almost certain I can go from the bottom of my street (1/4 mile), to the ocean, which by car is 60+ miles away. It will require bushwacking/poling for a bit, but it looks like it can...

Thank you. Posted on wcha. Hope to get it out on the water in a little bit. Gale Warning in effect!

I managed to get the 1930 today, and the man also had another canoe so I picked that up. They are both kind of rough, but I love them. I'm sure they will be fine for how I plan to use them. Any idea what the second one is? I think it's 17 or 18 feet. (The light blue one.) Gallery...

Last summer we did ~66 miles on the CT. Put in at Cornish and took out in Brattleboro. If you have the CT river map you'll see a number of campsites you're certain to have to yourselves

Thank you paddler123. I can handle 100lbs. just to get on car and move around house. My discovery is 87lbs. Getting rental car tonight and off early tomorrow AM. Should be interesting.

I plan to use this a few times per year with my kids so it shouldn't kill me, and I should have help. Maybe with the scout troop as well. Best part of this is that I rented a car to go get it (truck is in shop). The car is 15.8 feet long. I'll post a picture when I have it. I see a trailer...

Haha!! I just figured it out. It's a Guide. In looking at the other OT I have, I thought it was an OTCA but it's a 17 H W. This is funny to me because in my excitement to buy the 17, I didn't even look at the model.

lowangle, just doing some quick research and I'm finding what you are noting... I don't think there was a tripper then. It's 20 feet long though. From wcha: Charles River (1902-1929): Originally called the Robertson Model, it may have been designed or brought to Old Town Canoe Company by J.R...

Thanks. I'm picking it up on Sat and I started thinking that it's going to be tough to move around on my own.

Does anyone have an idea of how much this would weigh? I can't find anything online that has the specs. Canoe is probably from the 30s. Thank you, Mark

Joe, we should get together. Can still do the Nashua. It's only a 2 hour trip but it's nice. Yellowcanoe - I have a lot of obligations this weekend (all fun!), however, even if I did not I'm not sure I'd want to head up there. It's both Nascar weekend and a national ATV event north of here. I...

Thanks sweeper. I purchased that map prior to my trip in June of 2015. Great resource. The only thing I really need to figure out for my trip, which I hope is in Nov, is how to get someone to either drop me off north after I leave my car at take out or drive me north after i leave the river at...

Hi, Mark here. So happy to have found this site. I live in Hollis NH, in the southern part of the state. About 10 years ago I met the father of one of the kids my boys went to school with and he had a canoe. That led to many, many early morning canoe trips. Unfortunately, he moved to...
