The kidney offer is still available. I will go check out the Mohawk. All I've seen is a picture of the belly. She has dropped to $200 but I'm a big schmoozer so maybe I can get her to drop more. I have Friday - Wednesday off work so that could explain the impatience, but patient me is...

Hah. I owe everyone a beer. I know. I'm being impatient and that's where I went wrong the first time. I was 5 hours away from missing someone selling a Dagger for $215. Why can't I see those deals when they post :(. So patient me says "wait". Impatient me says "take my money and get me on the water"

Ok. Another option. Mohawk canoes. At least there is a name to put with it right? 17 footer. I bet I could get it for $150 and locally. Better quality boat? I know. You guys hate me already : )

Yeah. Under $100. I didn't notice the hole before now I can't not see it. It looks solid otherwise yes? It's straight. Bottom looks OK? Just something to get me through to winter.

Might help? Is that a hole on top of the ID plate? :o (ha. I didnt notice that in the pictures) OK. I see it now. Doesnt look bad. ? Eek.

OK. If you've read my thread in construction you know what I've went through on my newbie canoe buying journey. Long story short. Bought a tank, hated the tank, sold the tank. I have decided to go the cheap route & get something in the water I enjoy while saving my milk money to buy a fancier...

That's awesome. My Kane is the reason I got into canoeing. His fat butt wouldn't fit with me in my kayak. (or did I have the fat butt?) :) Props for using the doggie vest.

Thanks for the invite. Right now I am canoe-less. I have 5 days off coming up and hopefully a super deal comes along

Thanks. I see the line. My very first question was poly or RX. He said Royal. I asked again twice but with other questions and he never did confirm.

Any way to tell if it's RX from pics?

How could I tell if is indeed royal? Bring a scale? Lol. I looked and the graphics match the RX version. He did say he would do $500. should I live on Ramen for a while and buy the last canoe I might need?

I agree Mema: I'm wondering how that crack happened to begin with. Must of be a substantial hit to cause it. I have $325 in my pocket right meow. I know that's not much but I will be scouring the for-sale sites in the next few days. I did find a Wenonah Solo for like $350. Was gone in minutes...

Yeah. The one I posted does have a small crack at the end. Looks minor but if it's not repairable it's enough. Ill keep looking.

OK. The beast is gone. I was reading an old thread I found here on the 158. Do I want to avoid poly canoes all together? I know the discovery is 80 lbs but after 120 it's getting better : ) Should I just buy a cheap-o canoe to hold me over until winter when I could find a super-deal...

Thanks Memaquy: You answered exactly what I was wanting to know. Those specs sound almost identical to the OT Discovery 158. I say that model because there is one a couple hours away for $150. Minor damage which he said doesnt go all the way through. (see pic) Question: Will the...

Thanks I am probably just going to end up selling this. Sounds like I should leave it the way they designed it and buy something different. I have got a couple nibbles already. i was going to start a new post but will ask here. Are all stable boats going to be slow? I would like something in...

Very cool. Paw Paw is not incredibly far for me. Maybe one day I'll try it. Do you paddle alone? How do you get back to your vehicle :)

Thank you guys. That's why I'm glad I asked before doing anything. So the seats & console not only give strength to the sides of the canoes, but strengthen the bottom as well. Yes, the front & back seats are screwed into the keel pole. The middle console is just over it & not attached...

OK. I agree on the center thwart idea. (still learning the lingo) :) Would look more traditional and not so ghetto. Wouldn't making seats be a cheaper option? I have a $50 gift card to spend at Home Depot. That would cover the wood & hardware. Couldn't I make the thwart as well? Yes...

Hello and thanks for having me. 1st post here. Background: Recreational kayaker for 2 years. Nothing but lakes & slow rivers. Then I got a dog & found we didn't fit in the kayak. So canoe was the next option. In my haste I found a ,what I thought, was a great deal. Old Town Rogue River...
