Looking for around a 16 footer preferably made of royalex

What's your budget and your twenty?

[ZHudson829]

Price really depends on brand and condition. Also I'm in Harrison and willing to travel a little

[Deuce]

Cool. Check with Buffalo Outdoor Center for used Buffalo 16s. Conditions will vary. Also check with Ozark Mountain Trading Co. In Garfield. They sometimes have used boats, but I was so pleased with how they treated me I ended up buying a new one. Two Brothers Canoe makes top quality boats in Arkansas. They are available at OMTC and Gaither Mountain Kayak. Pretty sure they're less than a grand. If that's not in the budget keep an eye on Paddleswap.com. You'll find what you need. Happy hunting.

Ya my wife's cousins/ my paddling friends own gaither mountain but I'm mOre lookin for a used boat to help fill the canoe trailer for big outings with family. I think I'm gOin to buy a two brothers for my self

[Deuce]

Understood. I'd check with BOC then. I had the pleasure of meeting one of your wife's cousins last winter when I picked up a demo Arkota.

Ya good guys... I got the chance to paddle that boat on the buffalo last year. What did you think of the boat?

[Deuce]

I liked it a lot, but I wanted something with a little more initial stability for my nine year old. Also, she really wanted a purple boat.

[ZHudson829]

What did you end up going with

[Deuce]

Mad River Explorer LT 16

[ZHudson829]

How is it with stability?

[Deuce]

Has great initial and secondary stability. My daughter feels very comfortable in it. She can sit across the floor and lean against either gunwale without the boat feeling tippy. Just seems to roll a tiny bit and stop.

Still looking anyone got anything?
