I picked up a Katahdin 12 fiberglass. It was on offerup for $200 and seller let me have it for $175 because I found a crack in the hull. And a lot of gouges. And rotten wood. And faded gelcoat.
I have never seen anything like this thing. With a Stanley tape measure this boat is a whopping 41 inches wide! And it is the epitome of "flat bottom".
This is the fattest canoe I've ever seen. It looks like a Jon boat with pointed bow and stern. Upside down it would make a huge picnic table.
I had to have it just because it is so weird.
I wonder if I can move it with a paddle?
Probably wear out a trolling motor trying to push this barge upstream. Might have to buy an outboard motor, I dunno. Oars?
It's very heavy, it was all the seller and I could do to wrestle it up on my truck rack. Dropped it on his foot once. We had to take a breather after loading, but as I drove away I noticed in my rear view the seller look delighted and began dancing. I hope I didn't commit some kind of canoe sin, buying this thing.
