Viking snowshoes. They have only been used for decoration. Great condition. Local pickup in CNY.

Last night we had intense wind storms in CNY. I keep my grumman down by the water during the winter for easy access. The waves were massive yesterday. I have at least 10 feet of clearance between the water and the canoe. In no way did I expect this to be an issue. I checked the canoe before the...

Hello, a friend of mine is selling an older Mansfield canoe. Fiberglass and wood. I believe it is 15 foot in good condition. I do not have pictures, but could get some. He is asking 500 dollars. Located in Moravia, NY For you guitar players, the seller is Ed Foley. Ed is a world class Luthier...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

Hey, I'm on the fence about this one. I am continuing to thin my fleet and am entertaining the idea of letting my Eagle go. I figured I would post this on the forum to see if anyone is interested. This was the first Litetech Eagle Dave and his team built back in 18/19. It was a prototype. They...

I need to thin the herd and this is next on the list. The Kingfisher has incredible lines. It looks fantastic and is very fun in the water. Great condition. There are a few patches as shown. It was stored in a shed most of it's life. Original seats and oars are included with the sale. I use a...

Early Chestnut Pal. This may be a Moonlight. 34 inch beam. Good/usable condition. I paddle this daily. A recanvas is a good idea, but it's watertight as is. There are typical scratches and tear repairs. I repaint this every other spring. This is not a museum piece. It's a workhorse and has been...

I've been searching for a vee stern Chestnut for about two years. I finally found one at the Finger Lakes Boating Museum. Under two hours from me which was a bonus. Included with the sale was two extra thwarts, a great Cherry Chestnut paddle, patch kit and some cool swag. A good day for sure...

Hey, I am wondering if anyone has had any luck using side mount motor bracket effectively. I have an Old Town motor bracket, a 2.5 HP Mercury and I am using them on my Old Town 17 HW Sponson. The problem is once I get above half throttle, water pours into the canoe. This happens because the...

Has some life left. Just cover shipping. I think I can fit this in a USPS medium flat rate box. 15 bucks.

My first four into the world of motors. I picked this about just before Memorial day. Put on a quick coat of paint an varnish and got her on the water. The lines of this boat are incredible. I ditched the vintage 2 stroke and purchased a new Mercury 2.5 hp fourstroke. Top speed is about 9 mph!

Well, I found a beautiful paddle in Maine. 83 inches long and what looks like Birdseye(not positive). I opened the package and my excitement turned to disappointment. I discovered a nasty crack. I have included pictures of the break and the repair. A lot of Epoxy,clamping and sanding was...

Hello, I recently discovered one of Tom's boats up in ME. I could not resist and it is now in my possession. I can not find a lot of information on his boats. I would love to know the specifications for this canoe. Specifically the capacities and materials used. I believe Tom used Dacron for his...

When this happens my girlfriend starts to strongly suggest I retire for the season. Today is that day. I may try to sneak a few more sessions in before the freeze. Terrible time of year. Almost three months with no paddling.

I've become a bit obsessed with wool the past two seasons. I can't get enough of it and the performance of wool is unbeatable. I was out in a nasty wintery mix last night and came back bone dry and warm.

I recieved this earlier in the week. I have not seen one like this before. It is massive. Almost eight feet long. The blade alone is three feet long. This will replace my Six footer for standing. I have included some pictures. Before and after oiling as well as my six footer for scale. Any...
