Old Town Charles River Canadian Canoe For Sale - SOLD
« on: August 15, 2011 »
I've decided to sell my canoe. Much as we love it I just can't seem to find the time to get the old girl on the water and it's a complete waste gathering dust in the garden.

You can see info on it here (It's not the RX version, just the normal rugged one)
http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/generalFamily/charles_river.html

You can buy one brand new here:
http://www.bournemouthcanoes.co.uk/productpages/old-town-canoes/charles-river.htm

I've had it for 3 years but not had it on the water very much. It's a top boat, great for all types of water. I've had it on rivers, in the sea and on one pant-filling occasion, the Lagan white water course at Shaws Bridge. It can be paddled solo or by two, you can fit 3 in if someone doesn't mind not having a seat and it is possible to fit a 3rd seat to the centre. There's plenty of room for gear and I mostly used it for canoe camping. It's also been fully laced so you can securely attach gear.

I'll throw in all the gear so the buyer is completely ready to hit the water including home made trolley, 2 plastic paddles, one beaver tail wooden paddle, 2 PFDs, a barrel and a dry bag (although I really love the beaver tail paddle, if the buyer wanted to leave it with me I wouldn't complain   :'()

You can see pics of it taken today here:

You can see pics of it in use here:

I'm looking £500 for it all in.

Feel free to reply with any questions.

Yes but the yak is a whitewater boat. Don't worry, I'll be able to rustle up a seat in a canoe if needs be ;)

I defo wouldn't sell the paddle without the canoe. I'm only really including it so the boat is a full package ready for the water.
