I hope so. The original canvas lasted nearly 60 years, but it spend most of it's life in the rafters of a garage. This is 18 feet long. 110 pounds. Just at my carry limit. We decided to put a piece of copper on the transom. Just a bit of extra protection. The brass cap on the bow is from the...

Yesterday I picked up my Chestnut Olgilvy from Housatonic Canoe. I had the canvas repalced as well as some minor repairs. John knocked it out of the park! I purchased this Chestnut last Summer and it quickly became my primary canoe for all occasions. Solo to tripping. It is a fantastic hull...

Kodiak

Trying out the new Kodiak tarp. It came in handy for sure when the rain came. Nice gear storage as well.

Quick question while I'm waiting out a rainstorm in ADK. How long can a canvas tent be stored before mold becomes an issue? I have been using canvas tents for years and have been obsessive about not breaking camp until the canvas was bone dry. Unfortunately that is not possible this weekend...

Very bad in Syracuse. Visibility is limited. Very strange and ominous.

One owner. Originally purchased directly from the OT factory in 1985 Great condition. Normal scratched from use. I'm guessing this is around 60 pounds. This particular Kevlar weave looks fantastic. This is the 17 foot version Asking 1k. Offers welcome

I used on of these for a while. I lost it on a back road somewhere in ADK. It popped right out of the bracket. I have never been able to find a replacement. I ended using a piece of PVC as it's replacement. It works great. Just slide it onto your thule or yakima bar.

Sold off forum.

Great boat and color. Dave is the best and his canoes are fantastic. Enjoy!

I am thinking about letting my Prospector go. This is the legend when it comes to tripping design. I use this as a solo a majority of the time, but I have done some serious tripping with it. I am the second owner. It was restored it the 80's by Mcgreivey. I purchased this form Hemlock canoe a...

Almost no snow in CNY. I have never seen anything like this. I've seen grass almost all winter. No snowshoeing, ice fishing, skiing, 4 wheel drive. Nothing. It's going to be 60 tomorrow. Very strange.

Not a lot of snow l there Al. Same here for me. I haven't been able to go snowshoeing at all in CNY. I tried going on Tuesday after a little blast of snow, but the trails were still mud. Very strange winter.

Thanks Al. Some shots from trips last Summer.

I spent years building a lightweight fleet. All Kevlar or Carbon Fiber. I had no interest in Canoes over 50 pounds. Then, I bought my first W/C canoe. A Chestnut Prospector Garry from Dave Curtis. It is just over 80 pounds. During the first paddle I quickly realized the benefit of heavy canoes...

I found this on Craigslist a couple weeks ago. I have never seen a motor mount like this before and I probably won't find another so I decided to grab it. I am not a fan of side mounts. I find them unstable and dangerous. I am hoping this will be a better solution. I played around with the...

I purchased the cantilever addition for my Thule ladder rack. It extends the rack over the cab. This is the most secure system I have used to date. I have traveled thousands of miles with this set up. Good find!

That is my Chestnut Ogilvy "Grilse". 18 feet long with a "vee" stern. It has become my primary canoe. Both tandem and solo. My motor is mounted on a Thule bike rack I've had laying around for years. I grew tired of lifting the motor into the bed and then laying it down on it's side.
