Members Alex Chang Posted December 1, 2022 Members Posted December 1, 2022 $900 OBO Material: tuff weave Length: 16ft Weight: ~ 65lb Other specs: https://www.wenonah.com/Canoes.aspx?id=51 Location: St. Louis Condition: Normal wear and tear that you would expect from a composite canoe used in the ozarks. Various scratches on the bottom that have broken through the gel coat and exposed the tuff weave material (no punctures), all of which has been covered with west marine epoxy. I didn't feel compelled to make the epoxy application look pretty, it's like the bottom of your shoe, no one is gonna see it LOL. Also, the aluminum gunwales on the left side are slightly bent. A buddy was using the canoe and bumped up against a root wade pretty good. You can easily bend it back. I just haven't done it yet because it doesn't have any noticeable effect (and I'm lazy).
Terrierman Posted December 1, 2022 Posted December 1, 2022 That's too cheap IMHO. A strip of kevlar fabric and some more good epoxy would have that boat as good as or better than new.
