Welp, I'm thinking of selling one of my canoes.

[Al Agnew]

I just acquired a new (to me) canoe, a Dagger Reflection that a friend wanted to sell.  I couldn't resist it.  But I really don't need three tandem canoes, so I'm going to sell one of my two Old Town Penobscots.  I have an old one, probably nearly 30 years old, and a much newer one that I picked up less than a year before the demise of Royalex.  I got the newer one as a blemished one from an REI "garage sale".  I think it's the one I'm going to sell.

This is a green, Royalex canoe, 16 feet, weighs about 60 pounds.  It's in decent shape, the bottom is scratched up but only worn into the ABS layer under the vinyl outer coating, not down into the foam core, and that only in the area near the rear end.  However, the bottom is slightly warped, a bit higher in the center than near the ends, and also has a slight indentation in one area.  It still paddles well, and I still think the Penobscot is one of the sweetest tandem canoes for Ozark streams--it is fairly fast, tracks very well, and has great secondary stability.  The bottom is not too wide and flat, so it may feel a little squirrely to you if you're used to a wide canoe, but it resists actually flipping, and you soon get used to the slight feeling of instability.  As many may know, Royalex is no longer being manufactured, so Royalex canoes are in high demand on the used market.

If interested, make me an offer!  You can private message me, now that I've cleared space in my in box.

I think I'm familiar with that boat. I sent you a PM.

Now dang it.  My PM was sent before Greasy's.  Al,  I'll pay $1 more than Greasy B's highest offer.

Haha,

A while back I had a Penobscot 16 with the wood trim, it was a sweet boat. You may still have a chance to pick this one up, my truck rack is toast and I don't think I'm up throwing canoes over my head any more. Does anyone have a recommendation for a canoe trailer?

I've never paddled a Penobscot.  But I love my 15' Dagger Reflection with the wood trim.  Perfect solo boat.

Anyone want a wobbly, warped bottom canoe, that is due for skid plates? I'm gonna pass sight unseen. Pick a price, take some pics, and put it on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. They sell quickly.

Pay for it with a 3rd party out of state check...😂

My boss right out of school was a real hoot. He'd always make bets and if he lost it was always, 'Will you take an out of state, 2 party, post-dated check?' When you said no, he'd come back with, 'Alright, then just put it on your expense report.' , which I never did. 

It was harder to collect from him than it was some of our customers.

I know where there's some jet ski trailers cheap, we could do 2 canoe trailers in a day.
