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...

There's a "Conversations" icon that allows private messaging here. People have posted in Classifieds for ISO (in search of) before. The problem with sharing other folk's ads as a practice is that it becomes difficult to manage. For instance, when you reposted my ad for the Blackhawk, an...

If you feel the need, why not reach out privately? North American Canoe Trader on Facebook already exists and there is no need to duplicate it here.

From an earlier post: "DY and Curtis updated the larger Solo Tripper in 1985 with Nomad, at 15’4”X28.5/26.5”, symmetrically hulled with shouldered tumblehome and symmetrical rocker. The hull had increased stem layout so waterline is shorter than overall length indicates. Yost also designed a...

I strongly believe if you spend some time in the new Merlin II (if the wife allows) your perception of tippyness will change considerably. Also, if your paddling style is a low seated position, you may have a hard time lifting the stems of a NS Magic to get her to turn. I can heel from a...

Went ahead and ordered the Cushgear, thought I would try it on the OT Pack first. Still need to add a little padding, but so far so good. It adds almost no weight to the boat.
