Being new to the form I've been spending quality time reading many past and present posts. I noticed that many members find good quality used canoes (Bell, Wenonah, Sawyer, etc). Where do they find these? Are there used canoe websites or swap events? I suppose living in canoe country provides more inventory, especially when outfitters sell their rental fleets. Living in eastern PA offers slim picking, even on Craigslist.

Usually symposia where others bring their boats and you can swap and play
There are a lot of these on water events in the East. There are at least three in the Adirondacks and there is the Wisconsin Canoe Symposium and the Midwest Canoe Symposium ( Ohio..you may consider that not the Midwest). The Western PA Solo Canoe Rendezvous
Eastern PA could be more difficult but there is plenty of opportunity in Western PA. I have some contacts in Eastern PA in Allentown. Western NY is a real hotbed of canoeing and also canoe building.
Paddling clubs can be a help..

all of my canoes have been used outfitter canoes.
my current 2 kevlar, solo and tandem, look newer, and i saved big bucks on them.
my royalex, from an outfitter, does the job on the rocky rivers, and i saved a grand!
maybe i had good timing on all of these, but the deals are out there, post season.
