James,

That's surely a good price. I'm certainly not the biggest canoe guy in the club myself, however those most interested will probably ask you next about how old a boat it is, model name/number, length, con-dition, color etc., and so on, and 'weather any pitchers' of it are available :D

Best Regards

Odds are it's an Old Town H2Pro. I haven't ever paddled one, but I believe the hull design has been eclipsed by several generations since it's release. That said, I think $275 is pretty reasonable for anything with airbags and a hull in reasonable condition.

James, I would suggest cross-positing it on cboats.net... You will catch a few people in surrounding states that don't frequent the ACC boards.

Thanks,
Shep

Well, I did get excited reading up about the Old Town H2Pro and its cutting edge design with an aggressive rocker for its day. And in my imagination, it was red.

Back when the H2O was produced, the general consensus was that it had the initial and secondary stability of a greased bowling ball for the unwary paddler.

James,

From the picture, your boat looks pretty good! From the view outside , it certainly looks worth what you are asking at the very least, no matter the model. Thanks for listing it! And for enduring us nit-picking more info. :D Got any shots of the inside& saddle :canoe:



Best Regards
jim

Sorry if asking for more details was nitpicking, but I thought more info would help you sell the boat and I knew of some folks who were looking. I'll tell them to give you a shout. I does look like a very good boat for the price. Is it Royalex?

Eric,

I started the nit-picking with six the items of interest I could think of, and you helped out with a further two I didn't think about. Like you, I think they are all valid considerations that a potential buyer might care to know. I just used the term to make light of the group of questions I posed so James wouldn't think we were trying to ambush him 'playing' a game of 56 questions just for the dickins of it. :poke2:

Best Regards
Jim

Hey the nit-picking is keeping me at the top of the board (lol) The Grumman Square Stern is also for sale , It's 17 ft. One of the old ones, I also have a small outboard (cruise n carry 2.7 hp) if interested. The Old Town is royalex. Kerry More says it's bomb proof.
