drwxr Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 congrats on the deal, as of today you became a real paddler
kennyman Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 That is a gorgeous canoe. It's way too "purdy" for my trips down the Grand etc. I'd have to save that for special occasions LOL.
Cookslav Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Thats a beauty, And one heck of a deal! That model hits my weight requirements as well at 52lbs....I know as I did the research because I actualy saw that canoe while shopping, and scrolled by it based on the price tag, but boy did I drool on the screen a bit first That will serve you very well on your next adventure, she'll be a dream in the still waters. I just got a new to me" ultra lite Fiberglass Scott and it weighs in at a lofty 50lb's but then again its ony 14', with aluminum trim, and not nearly as pretty to look at I'm jealous....very jealous Edited April 24, 2009 by Cookslav
JFR Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Nice catch Mike. I owned a Langford Prospector 16 ft a few years back. Great tripping canoe, but once arthritis started setting into my knees, my tripping days came to an end :( Enjoy your new ride John
DRIFTER_016 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) That is just plain and simple Mike, and it is called good Karma, good things happen to good people! FLEX In that case he's going to HE!! for robbing that poor old couple!!!! Nice boat Mike!!!! Where does the motor go?? ?? ?? Edited April 24, 2009 by DRIFTER_016
douG Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I think all the kindness Mike has shown members here over the years does indeed qualifiy this canoe transaction as karma.
MCTFisher9120 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Nice ride man, you were right...excellent condition! Have fun.
misfish Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I think all the kindness Mike has shown members here over the years does indeed qualifiy this canoe transaction as karma. I totaly agree.Nice score.
solopaddler Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Posted April 24, 2009 Enough guys. But thanks for the kind words. On a side note the kids like the new boat. They played in it all afternoon.
fishnsled Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Nice looking ride Mike. Enjoy the adventures and looking forward to the reports. Looks like the family can hardly wait.
Moosebunk Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Perfect canoe Mike. Gnarly pick-up. Looking forward to the trip and fish reports you bring us from this ride.
Greencoachdog Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 That thing'll fly with a 250 Merc strapped to the back of it!!! Good looking vessel!!!
lucabrasi Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 That is a sweet canoe. I like the Prospector design myself, best all around for fishing/tripping and a Langford to boot! Well, you can't beat that. Hey is that sliding seat a custom job?

Well, you can't beat that. Hey is that sliding seat a custom job? Agreed on the prospector design. The sliding seat is standard (I think).
Rizzo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 good for you and I'm sure they knew what it was worth, just wanted it gone! I know someone who did a 300,000 renovation to a cottage one summer, then levelled it the next year and built new! to some people money is no object and a 3000 canoe is less than a drop in the glass
