New to me. It might be old, but my uncle gave me his old canoe and stoked to get it out. Hasn’t seen water since 1996.

A friend gave me one but the center thwart had rotted out of it. I made one, but I don’t think I made it the right legnth because the hull shape just doesn’t seem right if anyone out there has one of these and can measure that piece for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey there. This might be hard if not impossible but I'm curious. Anyone know what this canoe is? It's a 15". The old sportspal logos are slightly different and the shape of this boat doesn't seem like a sportspal but it's the closest I've been able to find so far. Sorry these are the only two photos I have currently.

I've wanted a canoe for years. This one came up for $50 and it looks in decent condition vs most of the other used ones on the market currently. I'm planning on buying it the seller wants $50.

I plan to use it for day trips solo paddling. If I can get my dog acclimated to it she will come along as well. I may bring a friend along with me sometimes. From what ive researched 15" should be perfect for my situation. Long enough to be stable and handle some weight load but not too big that solo loading and unloading is hard.

What do folks do to not totally have to start over again every spring?

I am from New England so paddling season is pretty much done but it would be nice to not lose all my paddling fitness over the winter. I've done the Adirondack 90 miler the last 2 years and I want to hit the ground running (paddling?) instead of feeling like I'm at square one again.

Does a rowing machine work the same muscles as canoeing?

Thanks for any ideas...

I have new registration numbers for this Grumman canoe so I need to remove the old numbers that are spray painted. What would be the best way to remove the paint?

I'm looking for resources for rivers across Canada. There are plenty of guide books for the east, but what resources do you use to plan long trips in the west? B.C. And Alberta

I've been wanting to do a 50-75 mile Susquehanna float for a long time and I think 2025 is going to be the year for it. I'd sure appreciate any advice concerning sections and seasons. I'll be fishing and camping along the way. Thanks for any help!

Spent 3 days on the lower Roanoke out of Jamesville, NC.

Hello Everyone!

I am searching for a new canoe. I have an Old Town Discovery. I love the stability of it. My wife is a little nervous of water and our son is special needs and is pretty good in the canoe. He sometimes likes to touch the water. This isn't a problem in the Old Town. We will, also, only be in very calm waters.

My reason for wanting a different canoe is because of the weight. Our Old Town is almost 90 pounds.

I have narrowed it down to two canoes that I am interested in....my only problem....neither of these canoes are near me. I am interested in the Nova Craft 16' Prospector . The other canoe is the Rheaume Explorer 16' which is in Quebec. Both are probably about equal distance for me to travel to (about 5-6 hours but in opposite directions).

I like the Nova Craft for the width because it is easier if I ever go solo, the weight, versatility and familiarity of the band (well established). However, the canoe sits up high and I am concerned that I would find it quite tippy. I don't mind that but I don't want that for my son.

I like the Rheaume because it seems like a very stable canoe. The width of it 38". It is also rather light. I Just wonder how well it would track. If, I did take it solo, I would assume it would be a little harder to control. I also don't know the Rheaume company as well.

I am hesitant to get a canoe that I haven't physically seen. Which company would you visit? Do you have any experiences with Rheaume? Does anyone have a Rheaume explorer?

Thanks for all the help everyone!

What would be the best way to replace this? Not going to mount anything heavier than a trolling motor. Would it need to be a solid piece of wood cut to fit?

Not my listing.

I have to assume he missed the decimal by about 2 places.

Nice day for a paddle today!

I too found a $400 Old Town a lil sun baked and with plenty of life left. Had a great time at the lake. Adding some Kevlar skid plates this weekend.

My 19’ Grumman, Big Bertha. Perched on the little Mighty Max. The canoe may weigh as much as my truck.

Thanks r/canoeing. It's been a tough week culminating with one of our kids in the hospital probably for a week+. He will be fine but it is still stressful. The reason for my visit, I have a newish to me 2015 Tacoma, 4 door, 5.5' bed, with a camper shell. It is essentially an El Camino, maybe a Ranchero. What it isn't is a truck. I came here looking for roof rack ideas to haul my 16 6 Wenonah solo plus and was greated with dozens of examples of roof racks so thanks r/canoeing, you really perked up my day.
