They vary in price as they're quite popular. How many do you have access to and what type / quality are they?

John Wilkinson from Portstewart makes beautiful wooden ones, but he also used to do a couple in GRP- charged about £650 for them, but if there were flaws he'd knock them down to £450.  I think he got the hulls from Peter Spence http://www.compositedynamics.com/ and added all the woodwork.

Peter's prices for open canoe hulls (unfinished):
1. Prospector Open Canadian £ 270.00
2. Erne Open Open Canadian £ 290.00
3. Tomahawk Open Canadian £ 320.00

£270 for a Canadian is an absolute steal if they're quality.

you have to do all the fitting out yourself though (a bit like an apache) so you need to add a bit on.
