Blue Hole Canoe stolen

Post by Highqualityh2o » Sun Dec 01, 2013 8:30 pm

Appreciate any help on locating my 16' Blue Hole OCA stolen from my dock on Beaver Lake near Eureka Springs, AR. I purchased the canoe from OMS in Fayetteville and picked it up in Ft. Smith back in 1977. It is black with a grey interior and overall in very good condition. It has aluminum gunnels and thwarts in good condition (just one dent that had been hammered back into shape). The seats are black plastic that are intact but have small cracks upon close inspection. The hull has a lot of scratches but only a few gashes into the first layer of plastic. The decals are intact but weathered and almost unreadable. It had a 1/2" diameter black and white tie-down rope tied to each end. The rope is somewhat unique and at a quick glance, appears to look like a black snake or king snake when laying on the ground next to the boat. I'm trying to locate the hull number but since it was purchased in 1977, I'm not sure if I still have it around. If anyone knows if there is a register for old Blue Hole boats that would be helpful too. Thanks for keeping an eye out for this remarkable boat…I'm totally bummed that this happened.

Wow I cant believe you still have the purchase records. I cant find mine from last year....let alone 1978!
Just wanted to drop you a note saying that I paddle the Buffalo alot and other rivers in the area. and will keep an eye out for your canoe. yours should stand out and be easy to find, if it is still in the area.
I live on Table rock, not far from you.
