There is a lot of info on the "Latest News' tab of the GRB website, scroll down a little. I thought hard about it before I had him build my Rambler, he had a very attractive intro price.

I made the mistake of buying a Wenonah Sandpiper that been stored for years exposed to the elements and had similar cracking. The cracking did not appear until after I used it a few times, as the hull seemed hard and inflexible, not 'soft' as you describe. The outer layers of Royalex are vinyl...

Congratulations! I forgot about the 32 inch beam on the Fox, pretty wide for most solos. A little more room to pack for those multi-day trips you mentioned. And the Tuffstuff will be beneficial in any bony water you encounter. The weight is just a tad more than that of the ADK, so the...

Congratulations! Final year of production, that's awesome. Yes, all modern Old Town Packs (not the original Chipewyan 12's) have the bands. The Engineers at Old Town, in their effort to lighten the weight, designed a Royalex sheet that varied in thickness, much like composite boat builders...

This boat sold a while ago, sorry I neglected to update.

The 2012 through 2014 Packs had the cool decks with built in cleats. It's probably nothing, but give it a good look-over anyway. Ask him for the last two digits of the serial/hull number.

As I went back to your pics and enlarged the bottom one, the decks almost look like the aftermarket replacement ones Oak Orchard Canoe sells. They may have been replaced, as even without the Old Town badge, there should be an embossed nest where the badge is placed. Compare my 2007 decks...

Yes, my fourth Pack, narrowed to 30 1/2 inch max beam. Old Town has put that badge on nearly every canoe as long as I can remember, but they sometimes get removed when folks add outfitting like Scotty mounts.

Yes, Facebook Marketplace. Shoppok.com is another resource for sales data, as they take a snapshot of Craigs List ads before the ads disappear forever.

I think a 260CM would be fine, if you want to stick with a kayak paddle. Then you might start thinking about outfitting, especially if you liked the creature comforts of the Next.

The pics show the seat is set pretty low, so it should give you the Fox's best perspective from a stability standpoint. Nova Craft fit and finish is nice quality.

I'll just chime in on the three you mentioned, as recommendations for others will be endless: MR Slipper: Nice canoe, but has been listed for a long time without movement on price. Old fiberglass solos are a hard sell, everyone wants Kevlar, Carbon or Innegra. IMHO should be listed at $750...

That Pack has the late model decal and shows almost no wear at the stems, so a really good price. $700 for a Pack in the Northeast US is about average, but the condition of yours looks above average. Here are some comparables;

My guru suggested this: If only there was a way to mount it in a canoe.

Where the heck is Mike McCrea ???? Perfect challenge project!

One of the comments in that old thread was mine, but I should clarify. I liked the concept of the Wenonah system, especially if one wanted to adjust 'on the fly'. I just did not agree on the height and angle they chose in the design. If I still had access to a milling machine, I might have...

The link doesn't work, but I am guessing you are referencing the 'Extreme Duty' backrest? They sure look robust, but only work with the 'Extreme Duty' seats.

Congratulations! I saw the post on NACT, Chris has been a purveyor of used boats on Marketplace for many years, glad he was able to fix you up with the right boat at the right price!

I think for the most part NACT may have run its course; there doesn't seem to be a plethora of additions from anyone but the admins, who seemed determined to keep it alive. They each seem to have a genre of boats they prefer and it seems that just repeats. I was never on board with their...
