As the title says I may never experience what it's like to paddle a homemade canoe made from stripped cedar planks of the Abughangee mountains but I believe I found a keeper canoe. As soon as I put it in I could tell the difference. It sat on the water like a feather instead of a bath tub...

What in the Ontario Canada are you making Odyssey? :cool:

Here it is . The tailgate extender is fully raised but the canoe is still angled down. It did fine for 150 miles. (yes I used straps). How do I even it out?

Indiana is getting it too. Supposed to be a major cool down tomorrow. Add me to the window AC group. Just bunker down and keep 1 room cool instead if the entire house.

Thanks for everything guys. I did get it. My last barge was a 120 pound OT Rouge River 154. So everything would seem lighter. It still has some weight, but not as bad. The boat I got has never seen water and it shows. I believe it does have the gel.coat. There is a small spider web on it...

OK. I swear. Last question about this boat. Again...this was the reply from the manufacturer "" your canoe is a canoe 16 feet 1 keel it is a $ 744 apart from the taxes wooden bench edging of aluminum punked plastic the canoe is made with 1 matte 1 eleven and a half and 1 roving 18 eleven with...

Great picture. :cool:

Ok. I didn't like the Mohawk. It was pretty heavy. 3 thwarts. (Again...right terminology?). It was in good shape. A minor spider crack. Back to the Canadian boat. If you see on page 2 the manufacturer response on the build. The seller also sent.the pics I asked for.(wasn't expecting that) Even...

Well the Oscoda is out. It was in Glennie, not Glenn. Glennie is about 5 hours away :D Maybe I better go look @ that Mohawk.

Thanks. I decided to pass on the cheaper one w/ the hole. Even if they took $75 it would take $50 in gas to get. The shiny fancy red one, well.... they wouldn't go down to $250 (again $50 in gas to get it) So I will let them keep it. I could tell in their pictures they are well-off. If they...

Oooh. Thanks Gumps. Let me check it out. I have the next 4 days off and its going to be a million degrees so I won't be doing much. OK. Found all the info. :)

Yes. That's the advantage of the Mohawk. It's close enough to go & look. I was wondering if 17 would be too big, but I want something that moves. I've been scouring the sites.....nothing better out there at the moment. I haven't heard back....wonder if I offended her by offering $150 .

It's a 17 foot banana. That's all I know. Does it have to be Canadian beer eh? :D

Ha. I was supposed to make poutine for the first time this weekend. I told her that it's a huge gamble. I'm not even sure how the seats & yoke (right term?) are mounted. Maybe I better rethink & just get the 17' Mowhawk. At least we know what it is. If she takes $150 for it I'm there. :) (Yes...

Yes. I called there & he answered, but no English. Sounded like I called his house. I was just bartering with the seller. They were asking $350. I offered $250 since it would cost me $50 in gas to get there & back. They said $300 is best they would do....so I'm looking at a $350 mystery...

How cute. I was surprised how well my dog did on his first ride. He just sort of laid down & took a nap. Love that canoe. Maybe one day.

I know. I know. "Not this freaking guy again asking stupid questions about stupid Canadian boats" I just got home & did some homework. The company is Truedel Craft Boats http://embarcationstrudeletfils.com/ I even called them but again like I joked about before yes...they indeed do speak...

Anyone speak Canadian? :rolleyes:

Is it chopper? Bummer. She said it was light. 35 wide 12 high. They did find the plate but only a ser #. Starts ZUR. i thought with that nice of a finish it might have been an undiscovered diamond. edit: according to then it was a gift to their daughter and has never seen water. zur us some...

I have another mystery canoe. 15 9 . She said no markings. Aren't all boats required a hull ID.
