Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
Have you looked at the Prospector in person? Those spots may not be all that bad and might result in a really good deal once the seller realizes he won't get what he's asking. Depending on how long they've been there and how much time the boat has spent in the sun it's possible they could be dealt ...

Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
Miquel, if you're referring to our conversation I was talking about the Prospector. I definitely think it's worth a look but I agree $900 is a bit high considering the aforementioned issue. Glad you're passing on the Discovery. I don't think you would have been happy with it. I still think if you d...

Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
Miquel, After researching the Old Town Discovery 133 , I see that it lists for nearly $1000, so that price looks a little better, especially if it is in top shape and you can barter other stuff for it in trade to lessen the amount you have to pay for it. I think it would be a pretty stable and dura...

Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
Agree with Luke. The boat in Shreveport is a good deal. I have no doubt it is. I would never get on a forum and then discount the opinions of folks I asked. But the rub is, I am open 6 days a week, try to get all my yard work done on Sunday and a little R&R then head back to the store. Believe ...

Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
This would be a MUCH better choice. https://forums.arkansascanoeclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29708 That looks like a great canoe, but I am a long ways from Shreveport and am trading a customer a rifle for this Old Town. I have not seen anything like this on my local Craigslist. That does make m...

Re: Newbie with I am sure the same old question
make sure there is no entrapment (getting stuck in your boat upside down) hazards in case of a capsize First thanks to everyone who replied. Now I have to admit the line above got my attention and stirred an ugly image of me or my grandson under a canoe with no way out. Stupid question I guess but ...

Newbie with I am sure the same old question
I am just looking at buying a canoe. I own a pawnshop and have a chance to trade for an Old Town Discovery 133. I know this is a beginner canoe, not the best at anything and not one for whitewater. I am sure I will eventually move up from it. But my questions are: 1. Is this used in good shape worth...
