Good evening, all. I’m pretty new to the forum. I joined becau I’m thinking of building a cedar strip canoe over the winter. I currently have a Sea Eagle kayak that we use on RV trips, but I wouldn’t mind having a knock-around canoe to use locally.
Anyhow, I work at a local army base and the outdoor rec department is selling some of their rental canoe inventory, specifically seven Mad River Reflection 17s. Sale is sealed bid, and you have to bid on a specific canoe or canoes. If you bid on multiple canoes, you have the chance/risk of getting all you bid on. I looked at them today and they look to be in ok shape for rental canoes. I realize the pics dont show a lot of details but wondered if anyone had any thoughts. I was thinking about throwing a bid on maybe two or three at $200 and seeing if I get lucky.
