Nice. Too bad it’s too far away.

An Explorer was my initial thought. (And I may have an opportunity to purchase one in Eggplant, which will be hard to say no to.) I would consider a Malecite/Independence if I could find one within a reasonable driving distance from SE MI. Watching a movie on YouTube about a guy paddling a Nova...

A few weeks ago, I picked up a DH in Ohio. Ohio requires registration and, therefore, stickers posted on the hull. I need to remove the registration stickers, which I will do with a heat gun, but I am not sure how best to get rid os any residual adhesive. My go-to on other surfaces has always...

So what characteristics make a "Prospector" a Prospector?

I have learned a lot about canoes in the past year. My first canoe was a 16' OT Camper, which is stable, great on ponds/flat water, but not very dynamic on moving water. About a year ago, I picked up an Esquif "Echo" and quickly learned that soloing is an entirely different experience from...

Picked up this 17’ DH last weekend. It was made in 99 and I'm the third owner. It’s in great condition.

Thanks. The first one looks very different when not wet, the seller of the second one hasn’t responded to messages.

Looking for a high condition MR Explorer (preferably a Duck Hunter), Malecite, or Independence. Preferably in Michigan or a 2-3 hour drive. Thank you, JDG jaydgardner1@gmail.com

I need to losen the screws on the ash trim on my Esquif Echo. How far should I loosen the screws? Thanks, JDG

How do you like paddling your prospector solo?

That's pretty consistant with what I have read about the Malecite's. Ptoblem is, finding one that's reasonably close to pick up. An Explorer is also on my list - I would like to find a Duck Hunter that hasn't been beat to heck.

Thanks for reminding me to finish my profile. I live in SE Michigan and I spend a lot of time on the AuSable, usually the South Branch, or on small lakes. I know that most tandoms can be paddled solo but some paddle solo better than others. I have paddled my Camper solo, sitting in the bow...

I have an Esquif “Echo” and an OT Camper and I am looking to add another canoe (used) I’m thinking a tandem that performs well paddled solo or a solo built on a tandem hull, like a MR Independence. I don’t expect to be doing much in the way of tripping, but at 6’1”, 245, I’m a pretty big guy...

I'm looking for an MR Independence or an OY Penobscot15 Solo. I’m in SE Michigan, and finding one in Michigan, Indiana, or Ohio would be ideal. The better the condition, the better. I am not looking for a “project” that needs to be restored. Maybe there's one that was owned by the proverbial...
