Esquif Cargo (square stern canoe) and outboard for sale

[Alex Chang]

Sad that I need to part ways with what I believe is the best smallmouth fishing canoe rig for mid to large size rivers here in the Ozarks, especially if you're into overnighters spent on the gravel bar. The last trip was on the Gasconade - two guys, two nights, and enough gear for a week. We covered 26 miles and the outboard came in clutch when we inevitably got into the slow frog water. The boat is incredibly stable at 44 inches wide; we were both fishing standing up without any issues. The rig is practically brand new. The only downside is the boat is a little heavy to car top by yourself, although it's the only way I've done it.

The rig cost me a total of $3525 (not including the shipping, which was another 1k). Asking for $2600 OBO for the entire rig. If you're interested in buying just one of the items, then $2000 and $600 respectively.

Very nice rig.  I always wanted something like that, but doesn't work for me now.

If I were a younger man and still living in Eureka Springs, I would pay you tomorrow.

Younger man...age is relative! All jokes aside, I do appreciate the sentiment. Let me know if you have a change of heart 😄
